Students in Mr. Jason Jeffers' construction class at Scott High School are taking on a real-world project—building a brand-new concession stand at the school’s football field.
The project, which broke ground earlier this month, is providing students with hands-on experience in carpentry, electrical work, and project planning. Under Jeffers’ guidance, the new facility will be student-built from the ground up. They will have the unique opportunity to learn about the planning and construction of the building. The students are gaining real skills that they can take into the workforce after graduation and are building something that will benefit the school for many years to come.
The current concession stand, a decades-old structure, has struggled to meet the needs of growing crowds that attend events at Scott High School. The new concession stand facility will be 1,920 square feet and house a spacious new concession stand, bathroom facilities, and a locker room area.
Although there is not a set timeline for the end of the project, Jeffers is hoping to have at least the bathrooms fully functional by the first home football game in the fall. The goal is for the remainder of the facility to be completed by the end of the football season. The new concession stand will accompany the recently installed turf football field. It will enhance the overall game-day experience for fans, players, and the community.
