Hilltopper Student Spotlight
Brandon Colbath was chosen to participate in a new internship opportunity with Middleton Lumber in Dover, New Hampshire. With this new internship he not only will be learning how to use Soft Plan a computer program used in Construction but will also be gaining valuable on the job training in which he can bring back to his Building Trades Program to share with his classmates.
Interact students spread the holiday cheer before break on Wednesday, December 23rd by bringing over 400 candy canes to students and staff who participated in their club fundraiser.
