Temple High School construction students are currently working on taping and floating as part of their tiny home project. This step is an important part of the drywall finishing process, helping create smooth walls that are ready for sanding, priming, and painting. Through this hands-on experience, students are learning valuable construction skills and gaining real-world knowledge they can use in future careers. The tiny home project continues to give students the opportunity to apply what they’ve learned in the classroom while working together to build something from the ground up. #TempleISDproud
