What a day at the CTE Takeover at EMHS 👏🏠
We had an incredible time giving students a real, hands-on look at what it takes to build a roof the right way, from the tear-off all the way down to a clean deck and back up through a full roofing system.
We walked through every layer that goes into protecting a home and building something that lasts, all backed by America’s #1 shingle manufacturer, GAF.
But the best part… they didn’t just watch, they got to jump in.
Students got hands-on experience using the tools, operating equipment, and even driving our Equipter to load and dump debris into the dump truck, which was definitely a crowd favorite.
This is what it’s all about, showing the next generation the opportunities that exist in the trades and giving them a chance to experience it firsthand.
Huge thank you to Branch and EMHS for putting together such a meaningful event for the youth in our community and for keeping us all fed.
Also, shoutout to all the incredible companies and organizations who showed up alongside us to pour into these students, from land surveying and well drilling to remote heavy equipment operation, crane work, excavating, and more.
The future is in good hands. 💪
