            Brick/Block Masonry at Harford Technical High School is a three-year program. In grade ten students will have the opportunity to take related courses in construction and fabrication. In the senior year, students may participate in the Cooperative Work Experience Program.

Brick/Block Masonry provides a broad base of experience in construction so that students will realize the diversity of this field. Occupational areas include mason, helper, concrete finisher, estimator, retail salesperson, and various other construction fields.

Graduates successfully completing the program have an advantage over non-technical high school students. Students have the beginning of a skill that will allow them to achieve a good income within a few years of graduation, as well as preparing them for higher education if they so desire. Students can continue their training by attending technical schools or participate in apprenticeship programs. Harford Technical High School has an agreement with the Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. (ABC) for apprenticeship opportunities.

Area businesses where students may find employment include contractors and numerous construction related businesses.

Successful students in the program possess the ability to work cooperatively with others to complete tasks, demonstrate good problem solving skills, have good math skills, possess good manipulative skills, and exhibit the willingness to meet craftsmanship standards.
