Holly construction trades students tour district’s new, state-of-the-art skilled trades facility
Set to open this spring, the Construction Trades Center will help prepare students for in-demand, high-wage careers
HOLLY, Mich. — Students in the Holly High School Construction Trades program recently got a sneak peek at the district’s new Construction Trades Center with a tour that detailed how the facility was built from start to finish.
The 6,500-square-foot Construction Trades Center is adjacent to the high school and was built by AUCH Construction. Steve Smith, a 1997 Holly High School graduate, serves as site manager on the project. He and project manager Rich Gorski led the April tour of the new facility, which is set to open this spring.
“This is an exciting time as we near completion of our new, state-of-the-art facility, which will play a key role in helping us take our skilled trades program to the next level,” said Jennifer Fettig, the district’s director of career programs and business partnerships. “This amazing new facility will help us continue to prepare our Bronchos for in-demand, high-wage careers in the skilled trades.”
The project was made possible by the 2022 voter-approved bond and is part of the district’s commitment to preparing all Bronchos for success and the jobs of tomorrow.
“I’d like to thank AUCH Construction for providing the tour and demonstrating the construction trades in action,” said Scott Roper, Holly Area Schools superintendent. “The day was made even more special by the involvement of Steve Smith, a Broncho graduate and example of success in the skilled trades profession. We can’t wait to unveil our Construction Trades Center to the entire Holly community as we continue to expand our programs that help prepare our students for success and rewarding careers.”
