Charlevoix Service-Learning Students Loan Skills to Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (Learn and Serve America Grantee)

Extreme Makeover
Charlevoix High School Construction Technology teacher Brian Certa probably didn't know what he got himself into when he wrote a letter to Extreme Makeover: Home Edition applauding the goals of the show and tentatively offering assistance in the future.

On Tuesday, March 4, Certa got a call to bring four of his seniors down to New Orleans, Louisiana, to assist the show in building a house and church previously destroyed by Hurricane Katrina during the season finale. From March 6 through the 14 CHS Construction Program and Learn & Serve students Kyle Jones, Cliff Jones, Nathan Tripplehorn, and Corey Gotshall assisted with framing, installing doors, sheeting, wrapping, and landscaping.
