Students Helping to Build Own Features : The Calgary Real Estate ...

High school memories can come in many forms.

Sometimes, it?s about making a championship-winning play for the team, or finishing with the highest marks in class ? but for a group of students at Jack James High School, it?s building a house.

Led by staff at Homes by Avi, students helped with home construction tasks such as framing and dry walling on a house at the school.

The model they built is called the Tristan, a 1,228-square-foot home with three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms that has since been moved to a lot in the northwest community of EvansRidge.

For Grade 12 student Matt Pettifer, looking up at the finished product during a recent ribbon cutting ceremony was something special.

?It?s rewarding to see what it looked like after and what it looked like before,? he says. ?It?s pretty amazing.?

Pettifer says he gained plenty of ?hands-on? experience in a trade that is his career goal, adding ?I want to build houses.?

Fellow Grade 12 student Alex Wujcik, who wants to take construction at the SAIT Polytechnic, agrees.

?It was really nice,? says Wujcik.

?When I built the house, it felt like I actually had a part in today?s society and helping someone live there.?
