Independence High held its second biannual Construction Trades Signing Day. Three of its early graduates -- (seated, from left) Jaime Sandoval, Russell Dowless and Heudy De La Paz -- accepted full-time positions with McGee Brothers Masonry upon graduation. Also pictured are (standing, from left) Jeremy Johnson, Starr Electric; Mary Ann Konopnicki, Precision Plumbing; Keith Olson, Independence carpentry teacher; and Kale Hallman, McGee Brothers Masonry.

Independence has built partnerships with Charlotte-area construction companies that represent a variety of trades. These partnerships allow students to take advantage of the many career opportunities available to them in the construction industry.
