Students in Hilton High School’s Geometry in Construction class have a special assignment. As their capstone project, they are building a playhouse for Assistant Principal Carol Saladzius. She and her husband, Paul, are building a new house in Parma and the students thought a playhouse that matches the main house would be the perfect welcome gift for the Saladzius’ daughters – Sienna and Bianca.
“The playhouse looks amazing and they are working really hard to make it match the new house my husband and I are building,” said Saladzius. “I am really proud of these kids!”
Co-taught by Emily Gloss and Brad Helmer, Geometry in Construction involves using geometric concepts to construct house models and related building substructures. The class also studies site selection, materials, tools and equipment, and the environmental impacts. Students receive two credits for the full-year course and take the Geometry Regents exam in June.
