Eagle Ridge students build tiny home, greenhouse; CTE expansion highlighted
Summary
Eagle Ridge New Tech High School presented student-built projects including a tiny home donated back to a local family, an 8th-grade greenhouse, a new CTE building and expansion of hands-on learning and FFA activities supported by a $2,000 grant.
Principal Terry Bennett told the board that Eagle Ridge students completed a tiny home built from a metal trailer frame through roofing, framing and finishing; the tiny home will serve as a bunkhouse for a local family and the recipient provided a $1,000 donation in appreciation. Bennett also reported an 8th-grade greenhouse project nearing completion supported by a donation of 25 yards of gravel and a $2,000 Grange Co-Op grant to start a chicken-raising program under the school's new FFA chapter.
Bennett outlined broader CTE successes: opening a new CTE building in May 2025, hybrid scheduling to support project-based learning, and student-led construction projects such as picnic tables for the county fair. Board members praised the hands-on learning model and encouraged continued community partnerships and permitting review for larger-scale projects.
