Salem high school students this week raised interior walls for the home they’re building as a final project in a residential construction program.
Though Salem-Keizer high schools remain nearly all online, students at the district’s career technical education center are still doing hands-on work once per week. For construction seniors, that means the home build many have looked forward to for years.
