🔨 MHS Home Maintenance Class Builds Durable New Park Stand for Village Communication Board
Minerva, OH — The spirit of community partnership is on full display as students from Minerva High School's Home Maintenance Class successfully completed a real-world construction project for the Village of Minerva. Under the direction of instructor Mr. Leatherberry, the class designed and constructed a new, durable stand to support the village's communication board located at the local park.
The project began when Village officials approached the high school with the need for a new stand. The students embraced the opportunity, turning it into a valuable hands-on learning experience.
Collaborative Design & Real-World Skills
After reviewing the village’s requirements, students worked collaboratively to:
Create a custom design.
Develop a full materials list.
Construct the long-lasting structure using vinyl components.
"This project was a great example of how schools and communities can work together for mutual benefit," said Mr. Leatherberry. "Students gained real-world construction experience, and the village received a functional, long-lasting addition to their park."
The project allowed students to practice planning, fabrication, problem-solving, and teamwork—all essential skills emphasized within the Home Maintenance curriculum.
Village officials were highly appreciative of the partnership, praising the students' craftsmanship and professionalism.
This collaborative effort highlights Minerva High School’s continued commitment to engaging students in meaningful, service-oriented projects that strengthen community ties and provide authentic, practical learning experiences outside the classroom.

Minerva High School STEM Success!
We’re excited to highlight Year 4 STEM student Zek Wengerd for an outstanding real-world engineering accomplishment as part of his STEM Capstone Project!
Zek partnered with Summit Glove to take an existing globe from one of their displays, fully redesign it, and then 3D print the updated version using our school’s brand-new 5-color 3D printer. The result?- A professional-quality product created right here at MHS!
Guided by STEM teacher Mr. Leatherberry, Zek’s project is another example of how our program is:
🔹 Supporting local businesses
🔹 Strengthening community connections
🔹 Providing students with authentic, career-focused experiences
🔹 Offering real services beyond the school walls
Amazing work, Zek! Your innovation and professionalism make Minerva proud.
