At Perry Central, these students are becoming the architects of their destinies, shaping their skills in a way that promises to redefine the future of the modular and manufactured home industry.
The project at Perry Central is more than a building endeavor. It’s a pioneering case study for schools across the nation, showcasing how integrating practical skills into the curriculum can shape the future of our students and the modular and manufactured home industry.
