39th Young American House
2011—2014
Cornerstone Ceremony

THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY STUDENTS CONSTRUCTION TRADES FOUNDATION INC. is a nonprofit foundation established cooperatively by the
Montgomery County business and professional community and Montgomery
County Public Schools to promote and encourage the interests of career
education related to construction. Students actively participate each year in
the Young American Design/Build Project. The Construction Technology
programs consist of courses in Electricity, Masonry, HVAC, Interior Design,
Carpentry, Plumbing, Foundations of Building and Construction Technology;
and Principles of Architecture and CAD Technology. This unique
experience brings together various specialized career education programs.
Through the design and construction of a house, students gain the satisfaction
of participating in a real-life project.
The Young American Student Design/Build House Project begins with the
Annual Design Competition in which local architects, developers, and
contractors review the house design plans submitted by students from the
Principles of Architecture and CAD Technology Program. Students enrolled
in Construction Technology Programs then build the selected design.
Students in the Interior Design Class decorate the house for the Cornerstone
event. Upon completion, the house is dedicated at the Cornerstone
Ceremony in which a cornerstone is laid and the public is invited to tour the
house. The house is then placed on the market for sale.
Since the Foundations’ beginning in 1976, students in the program have been
involved in the design and construction of 39 homes. This year’s Young
American house is our 39th. We have built homes in Silver Spring, Rockville
and also Bethesda. Our most recent 12-lot development is on the corner of
Connecticut Avenue and Dean Road in Silver Spring. The
celebration of
th
YA 39 marks the completion of this development. Our 40 house is being
built just around the corner from YA39. Watch YA40 as the students build it.
All proceeds from the sale of the Young American houses are returned to the
program to cover the cost of additional land, land development, construction
expenses, as well as the financing of student scholarships and awards.
The Montgomery County Students Construction Trades Foundation Inc. has
been the recipient of many awards for program excellence. It continues to be
a support to other educational institutions that are starting or updating their
programs.
