Camp Verde High School Students get Real-Life Work Experience

Lois Lamer, Yavapai County Tech Prep

Students in Camp Verde High School’s Tech Prep articulated Drafting program get a taste of what it’s like to work for a client.
Last fall Rick Long’s drafting students participated in an architectural design contest at the request of one of the district board members. The students were asked by a local developer to submit house designs and plans for a client that included; Front, rear and side elevations, floor plan, sectional drawings, and landscape plans.

Students in Rick Long’s Drafting Program build models from their designs.

Additionally, plans had to be good enough for approval by local building code authorities.

The client and the developer judged all drawings. First place winner, Junior Seth Scott, was awarded $200 and his design will be used in the construction of the home. The second-place winner, Senior Leon Lukasik, received $50. The third place winner, Junior Chris McCarthy, received $20. Three other entries each received $10; Juniors Danny Newton and Scott Welsch, and Senior Randy Procknow. Awards were donated by Tierra Verde Investments and Com Con.
