We’re thrilled to announce that the Red Oak Chamber and Industry Association, in collaboration with Southwestern Community College and Red Oak Community School District, is reviving the building trades program at ROCHS for the 2024/2025 school year!
A dedicated housing committee, including Randy Orme and Ryan Beeson as co-chairs, along with Jeff Soe, John O’Neal, Bryant Blay, Nathan Perrien, Ron Lorenz, and Elaine Carlson, has been established to oversee this exciting project.
The project will see the construction of a 1,402 square foot, three-bedroom, two-bath home at 2907 N. 4th Street in the Woodland Hills subdivision. ROCIA has secured the lot and will determine the building plans, while Southwestern Community College will act as the general contractor. Joe Nenneman has been hired to lead the program, guiding 8 Red Oak students and 4 Stanton students through this hands-on learning experience.
This initiative not only brings new housing to our community but also provides our students with invaluable skills and a potential career path in the trades.
