TEAM PASCO HOME
Students from Pasco and Chiawana high schools proudly showed off their handiwork and were honored by District staff and community members at the 2013 Team Pasco Home dedication ceremony and open house on May 15.
Pasco High School junior Pablo Alvarado and CHS sophomore Julio Borquez each spoke about how the project has positively impacted their lives. Alvarado said building the home has taught him the value of teamwork and has made him want to pursue a college degree in construction management. “I want my education to be like a strong wall, flush on the sides and on the top and the bottom...every detail has been covered,” said Alvarado. “Constructing this house was one of the best experiences of my life,” added Borquez.
A product of the Pasco Vocational Building Program, Team Pasco Home houses are built by students from both high schools. Construction trades students, led by John Weatherby, as well as students in landscaping, floriculture, agriculture science, and metals and welding classes all contributed to the home.

May 23 - Twain
