Lewis and Clark House Sells Fast
As students graduate from high school many may have a prized art piece or science project to show off,
but few can drive by a luxury home and say “That was my class project this year!” Lewis and Clark
Career Center students in the Building Trades, Brick and Stone Masonry, HVAC and Electrical Trades
programs can all add home construction to their resume before even leaving high school.
Lewis and Clark students build a home each year, learning all aspects of residential construction within
their area of study. Selling for $338,500, this year’s Lewis and Clark student-built house sold quickly
after it was placed on the market. Boasting 2,801 square feet of living space, the three car garage twostory house has a full brick and stone front, a brick fireplace and custom brick mailbox. Students
installed a dual-zone heating and cooling system and many other luxury features.
Lewis and Clark Career Center offers students a unique opportunity. As the housing industry picks back
up in the area, Lewis and Clark graduates are entering the work force with on the job experience before
graduation. This year’s students are already excited to begin working on the new house for the 20142015 school year. Students interested in attending Lewis and Clark Career Center in the future should
talk to their school counselor.
