Engage in hands-on experience building start-to-finish products while developing relevant skills in construction trades to include woodworking and welding. Build projects for yourself, your family, and your friends. Or, see what you've built— whether a bench, greenhouse, chicken coup, or an actual home—be sold or donated to community members.

A career and technical student organization (CTSO) is an extracurricular group for students in CTE pathways to further their knowledge and skills by participating in activities, events, and competitions.  Students within the Construction program have the opportunity to participate in SkillsUSA.

SkillsUSA empowers its members to become world-class workers, leaders and responsible American citizens. We improve the quality of our nation’s future skilled workforce through the development of SkillsUSA Framework skills that include personal, workplace and technical skills grounded in academics. Our vision is to produce the most highly skilled workforce in the world, providing every member the opportunity for career success.

A CTE Program Advisory Committee is a group of individuals whose experience and abilities represent a cross section of a particular occupational area. The primary purpose of the CTE Program Advisory Committee is to assist educators in establishing, operating, and evaluating the CTE program – which serves the needs of the students, the community, and the business/industry partners – and to provide expertise and insight about current/future industry and technological changes.

Each CTE Program reflects on their strengths and sets goals to address challenges.  A Program of Work is then created that guides the actions and discussions of the Advisory Committee.  The LPHS Construction Program of Work can be accessed via the following link:

A CTE program of study is a comprehensive, structured approach for delivering academic and career and technical education to prepare students for postsecondary education and career success. It consists of a coherent sequence of academic and career and technical courses offering students the opportunity to earn an industry-recognized credential or certificate at the secondary or postsecondary level, or an associate or baccalaureate degree related to the focus of the program of study.  To view the program of study for the Construction program, please visit the link below.
