H-D students work to build house from start to finish

Most of the students in the Hampton-Dumont High School Carpentry Fundamentals class can tie their interest in construction to their childhood.

For senior Michael Sosa, it’s memories of watching his father, a mechanic, work on vehicles and seeing construction progress on new hotels and buildings.

“I would watch him fix things and I always had an interest in that,” he said. “When I would see how buildings are being built when I was little, I had an interest in that too, and that’s why I joined this class.”
