Construction classes at Pickens High School consist of 4 different pathways. Carpentry, Electrical, Masonry and Plumbing. Students begin by taking Industry Fundamentals and Occupational Safety. This is the foundational course for the pathway and prepares students to pursue any career in construction. The second class in the pathway is Introduction to Construction. This class is an introduction to the four construction craft areas. After completing these two classes, students can choose any of the craft areas to complete their pathway. Students have the opportunity to complete more than one pathway if they choose to. These classes can be beneficial to students by preparing them for a career after high school, or by enabling them to do repair work at their home.
