New magnet program prepares students for construction careers
Construction Careers Academy, Northside ISD's newest magnet program, opens Aug. 24 at Warren High School with 120 freshman students.
"During the process to develop the School Bond 2007, construction industry executives told NISD that there was a great need in this area for skilled tradesmen," NISD spokesman Pascual Gonzalez said. "As a result of that feedback and citizen input, the magnet school has become a reality."
Construction is underway on the Warren campus for a 42,000 square-foot facility that will be the home of the new magnet program. The facility is expected to be completed next summer.
The facility will include classrooms and specialized spaces geared toward five strands: construction, electrical trades, HVAC, plumbing/pipe fitting and architecture.
