The Drafting academy has helped me with discipline and work management to get a good feel for the timeline a real job would be like as well as the discipline required to get the work done in a timely manner with the correct level of detail and care. I am very grateful for the 4 years I spent on this program helping me develop into a great worker as well as help me find a job to start my career. Mr. Nunamaker has done a great job creating an environment to work in as well as being able to be friends with him so that the class is a good mix of learning and fun. ~ Stephen Greenwood, Drafter
The Academy of Architecture, Design and Technology helped me develop valuable, creative, technical, and problem-solving skills. Through practical projects and supportive teaching, I gained a stronger understanding of design principles, architectural processes, and modern technology. The academy encouraged me to think independently, communicate my ideas clearly, and pay close attention to detail. I can thank the academy as it has provided me with the support and encouragement I need to pursue my education and career. ~ Kyle Geib, Drafter
The Academy of Architectural Design and Technology would like to extend a sincere thank you to Alexander Swanson and the entire team at Swanson Engineering for giving back to the program that helped launch their careers. Their generous donation toward our classroom remodel will play an important role in enhancing learning opportunities for current and future students. It is truly inspiring to see graduates of Pedro Menendez High School achieving success in their careers while continuing to support the program and school that helped shape their futures. Their commitment demonstrates the lasting impact of Career and Technical Education.
There are still opportunities for community members, alumni, and industry partners to contribute to this exciting renovation project. Together, we can help launch the program into its next chapter of success and continue preparing students for rewarding careers in architecture, engineering, and design.
