 During
the past year the high school courtyard has been through
a dramatic transformation. The landscaping and new
monuments have made the area a nice place for students
to “hang out.” Now, there is one more item to add to the
list: Adirondack chairs.
Rob Buehler’s Production Systems class (held in the
fall) and Residential Structures class (held in the
spring) have been busy making six Adirondack chairs and
new trash receptacles for the courtyard.
“My classes came up with a design and built a set of
chairs, which were donated from our department to the
school,” said Buehler. “I thought it would be nice to
try and work on making the courtyard a better, more
inviting place for students to mingle and the chairs
came to mind.”
Some other projects that Buehler’s Production Systems
students are making include wood-working projects like
shelves, small tables and benches. His Residential
Structure class is actually building a full-scale garden
shed.
“These courses teach the importance of fundamental
skills,” said Buehler. “I tell my students that they
don’t have to go out and work in the construction field
because they have taken these classes. These concepts
will help them as future homeowners and problem
solvers.”

Adirondack chairs they plan on donating to the high
school courtyard.
