Amazing Alumni

One of the most valuable things I learned at [the school] is that there are always different ways to do things and finding your own way is okay, as long as the finished product is quality. Another benefit of attending is that the school taught me the basics of carpentry. When I graduated high school, I had never touched a tool. The [Comprehensive Career Boat Building Program] taught me how to properly use those tools!
