Dec. 18, 2024— Back in October, it was revealed that High School South students enrolled in the SPEAR 2 construction course were working on a big project. The school's front office was in need of new mailboxes, and the class— under the direction of teacher Tim O'Leary— was able to secure a donation of materials, and the project got underway.

It took more than a marking period and an incredible amount of work. The shelves were all glued and biscuit joined. The finish work included paint, stain, and polyurethane. And this week, students delivered a finished project to the front office, and just in time for the holidays, when mail is pretty important.

"The kids are incredibly proud of what they were able to accomplish," said O'Leary. " I'm looking forward to these kids doing more great things in the future!"
