Flathead Student Built House program student Seth Wantaja is moving directly into a full plumbing apprenticeship after helping finish the seventh house built by students.

Students from Flathead High School and Glacier High School can participate in the construction class and learn how to build a house from the ground up.

The main goal of the program is to provide kids with hands-on knowledge and a head start in the job market.
