Dragon Academy students recently completed their spool redesign project for East Central Energy's Too Spool for School contest. ECE donated two spools from their fiber optic inititiave and an additional $200 for materials.
A number of the Dragon Academy students are part of our school's trapshooting team and enjoy other shooting sports as well. When we were brainstorming for our project, they suggested creating a benchrest for target shooting. Pine City is competing against ten other area schools for a $500 prize. Voting is open on East Central Energy's Facebook page from May 13 to May 17. Please vote and share the link widely!

Students in Mr. Schlichting's Advanced Welding class have been mass producing these custom fire pits. The panels are cut out on a CNC plasma cutting table where students are able to incorporate their own designs in the cut outs and then welded together. #DragonPride #CTE #PCHS

Mr. Eichten's woodworking classes have been designing and fabricating their walleye hat rack projects. On this project they work on perfecting their band saw skills. It can be quite difficult for them to cut the curves smooth and sleek, so they may have to hand file and sand the edges of the fish to clean it up. Some students even chose to laser engrave words or details like fin and gill lines on the fish. Overall, it was a fun project and they turned out well. It is time for these fish to swim upstream and spawn for spring. The students are looking forward to making key racks and clocks in the near future. Nice job students, and keep up the good work. Go Dragons! 🐉🛠🐟 #woodworking #CTEatPCHS
Mr. Eichten's 7th grade CTE students have been working diligently on the traditional wood duck project. In 7th grade CTE classes, the students concentrate on traditional drafting and woodworking applications. They do not use computers for drafting, it is all done by hand drawing using traditional drafting tools. In the woodworking part of the course, the students do not use power tools either. The wood duck project is cut, filed, sanded, and varnished all by hand. The students will start using power tools and computers in 8th grade CTE courses. It is almost time to let this batch of ducks migrate to their new homes and start a new flock in the fourth quarter. Great job kids and go Dragons! 🐉🦆🛠 #woodduck #PCHS #CTE #tradition
