Building Trades is a four-period, one-semester course that meets every day.  The student will have the opportunity to receive experience in carpentry, electrical, concrete, heating, flooring, landscaping, plumbing, and other phases of the home construction industry.  The students will also learn how to read and decipher blueprints as well as become competent in the tools of the trade. Students are required to secure their own transportation and be “on the job” by 7:30 a.m.  Class size is limited to twelve(12) students.  Students wishing to qualify to take this course should maintain a "C" or better in all of the prerequisite courses.  Should more than twelve(12) qualified students request the class, the twelve students with the highest GPA in prerequisite courses will be chosen.  In the event of a tie, remaining candidates will be chosen by a random selection process.  The building trades program has been a part of the Mount Horeb Area School District since 1975.
