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.
