WHS BUILD ACADEMY

How did this come together? Due to a successful relationship with the High School Initiative Office, the California Department of Education awarded WHS a California Partnership Academy grant to establish a Building and Construction Trade Academy. In 2019, planning began for the BUILD Academy. Courses were written, went before the school site council for approval and before the WUSD School Board for final approval and permission to move forward with the planned courses. A course description was been placed in the student course catalog for classes beginning in early 2021. A large classroom has been designated along with a secure high walled outdoor courtyard for the students to build their sets, their projects, and their products... There is strong industry support from the Construction and Trade industries all over Sonoma County. Working with industry to bring the best educational experience possible to the students of Windsor Unified School District.
