Shadow Ridge High School preparing students for careers in architecture
Surprise, AZ | Submitted by Scott Thomas

At an unassuming high school in Surprise, students are building the skills they need to open their own business right out of high school. It’s Shadow Ridge High in the Dysart School District and their Signature Architecture Program (SAP).
With one class per day, students are also instructed in workplace and employability skills. They cover everything from writing and resumes to teamwork and terminology. Youth who complete the program are prepared to start their own business after graduation, working in custom home design and remodeling. However, most continue on to universities to continue studying architecture or construction. One New York university with a top-rated architecture program has been impressed with the program. So much so that they offer a $125,000 scholarship for one student each year to pursue their master’s degree.
