This year, Lakeside High School in Ashtabula is bringing back its woodshop.The sounds of the past will soon be present in a brand-new and pristine work area as dozens of new tools will be teaching an old trade to a new generation.“Twenty years ago, they removed the woodshop,” Lakeside High School Principal Doug Wetherholt said.Wetherholt said the return is student-driven; a survey showed shop was one of the top classes the students wanted.
He wants to be a heavy equipment operator like his dad and said he loves tinkering with his ’89 Chevy pickup at home and can’t wait to work with his hands and learn new skills at school.“Everyone was like, ‘Finally, there’s something to do with our hands, and we don’t have to just sit in class and stare at the whiteboard all day,’” he said.“It’s going to be a lot of fun,” woodshop instructor Mike Warren said.Warren says students will also learn safety, basic drywalling and electricity work.
