A perfect send-off post for summer vacation (and R.I.P., Leonard Nemoy).
Awesome work by Grade 9 student E.S. – she even added a brooch pin, so this can be worn in full Trekkie fashion.
Have a great summer, everyone! – Ms. T.

self-directed wood projects
I’m always excited to facilitate skilled students bringing in their own ideas! Featured here are projects by Grade 10 students: rolling pins and a game by J.L., as well as a stick-shift knob by J.T. (Engraving was done outside of Highland). Excellent work!
belt buckles, round 2
Featuring buckles by M.L., M.X., C.F., A.G., C.M., T.H., and N.W-C. Awesome work, everyone!
belt buckles, round 1
Wow! These buckles were created by K.M., B.Z., M.B., K.E., J.Z., and L.C. in Senior Jewelry. They use a variety of skills, including hand-sawing, MIG welding, metal lathe-work, riveting, and finishing. Nice work, folks!
raising the mock-ups!
Our Trades class raised their first mock-up wall, and it looked fantastic!
jeweller’s saw awesomeness!
Check out the incredible metalwork skills shown by M.B., K.S., and L.C. Each student chooses a design and carefully cuts it out by hand with a small jeweller’s saw. The patience required can be huge, and these students nailed it! (M.B. soldered her copper and nickel silver pieces together to create the husky). Great work!
Sterling Silver castings
Beautiful finishing work by N.A.N., T.H., and C.M.: these castings look amazing!
Steel tempered pendants
Students design their pendant/keychain, cut and shape 1/8″ steel by hand, temper it with an oxyacetylene torch, then engrave their chosen image onto the piece. Each piece is distinct, and they look great!
incredible junior wood step stools!
I was so impressed with the amazing and unique work that came out of the Wood shop this semester – and I know these students were very proud of themselves. Great work, everyone!
Pewter castings
Some excellent work done by Grade 9/10 students C.B., W.B., S.J., D.R., D.B., and J.S.. Each piece was designed by the student, carved out of Plaster of Paris, then cast with molten pewter.
