We moved a house today! In fact, we moved two!

Our students at the Byron Martin Advanced Technology Center partner with Lubbock Habitat for Humanity each year to build homes for deserving families. The 24 and 25 houses finished by this program, built right on our back lot, are officially on the move and headed to their new neighborhood. There's nothing quite like seeing the hard work of our staff and students making its way down the street!

We are so proud of these students for their hard work and dedication to building up our community. A huge thank you to the Helen Jones Foundation and Lubbock Habitat for Humanity for their partnership in this incredible project.
