JDHS Earns 1st Place in Residential Construction Competition!

The JDHS Student Chapter of the Southeast Alaska Building Industry Association recently earned 1st place in the 2009 Residential Construction Competion held in Las Vegas, NV on January 20th, 2009. Students Katie Busch, Joseph Croteau, Joseph Funk, Linzie Norman, and Willliam Strehler completed a thorough collection of working drawings, a detailed materials and labor cost list, and a construction schedule to build a 3,100 square foot house in San Antonio, Texas. They completed this preliminary work prior to travel to the competition where they gave a Power Point presentation defending their solution to a panel of judges.

JDHS teacher and team coach Craig Mapes was proud to witness a perfect presentation by the students during their competition. The students worked hard on the problem both inside and outside of class for over 3 months to complete the project.

The first place finish earned $1,200 for the student chapter. Students earned noise cancelling headphones, plaques, and construction calculators valued at $100.

The students and Mr. Mapes would like to thank the SE Alaska Building Industry Association for their financial support. They would also like to thank Robin Gilcrist with UAS, Chris Gilberto with North Pacific Erectors and Kelly Flynn with Juneau Truss for all their help.
