WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU!
RCP Block & Brick hosted Grossmont Union High School District Career Tech Education leaders, students, and Project-Cornerstone.org to learn how GREEN masonry is and the aggregate importance of minerals in our natural resources. El Capitan High School students enjoyed hands-on challenges and worked in teams. They were given plans to build a dry layouts to get a feel for what masonry is all about. They walked the full tour of RCP’s Otay Block Manufacturing Facility and saw materials baked right out of the oven, then wrapped, stacked, forklifted, and trucked off for delivery. Masonry is an in-demand occupation!
WHO’S GOT SKILLS?
SkillsUSA California 50th Annual State Conference tested masonry students in a timed challenge to see who wins the privilege to go on and compete at their Nationals later this year. Masonry students from Warren High School/Downey Unified School District all built the correct design. AGC San Diego’s Jack Chapel is the skilled Event Coordinator. His leadership from load-in to awards ceremony 4 days later turns the parking lot into an outstanding event. MITA gives BIG thanks our members and RCP Block & Brick for materials, MITA Instructors for judging, and MITA Apprentices who volunteered as tenders.
