Bel Air High – Carpentry I

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This course will begin with safety procedures within the construction craft. International Residential Code (IRC) certification will begin and students will have an opportunity to take two certification exams in the 11th grade and two certification exams in the 12th. Transit leveling, floor systems, wall, and ceiling framing will be practiced with "hands on” tasks. Roof framing, sheathing, and exterior finishes will be applied. Portfolio development rubrics are in place and give the opportunity to have students at the beginning of the year to apply for real project management positions within the class structure. An introduction to facility management and job opportunities in that field will be developed through an actual work order process within the school. Successful completion of this course earns two credits.
