A four-year program integrating technology training and pre-college academics. Students will be introduced to all aspects of contemporary construction from project conception to completion. They will take part in a full-scale, hands-on project. At present, there is no such high school program in Santa Barbara. Participation in the program will be contingent upon getting C grades or better in academic classes.
