ADRIAN — Adrian Public Schools has launched a new Industrial Arts program at the High School. The class introduces students to woodworking and skilled trades.
The course is led by Industrial Arts teacher Tony Aiken, who brings years of experience. Students are learning the basics of craftsmanship with industry tools like drill presses, mills, routers, and saws.
The program was funded through support from Adrian Mechanical and a Career Prep Grant from the Lenawee Intermediate School District.
District officials said the program is part of the Diploma Plus initiative, which helps students earn credentials and prepare for careers.
Adrian Schools plans to expand the program by pursuing national accreditation.
