 Building The Future: Career Day at Life School Red Oak

Looking out across the sea of young, eager faces and red uniform shirts at the Career Day event at Life School Red Oak Elementary, was a sweet reminder at just how bright our future is. What an honor to have a little time carved out in each of their lives to speak to them about our passion for building relationships, building homes, and even of building the future at John Houston Custom Homes.

Together with our Vice President of Sales, Jason Dodson and Architectural Designer, Rich Ean, we presented to multiple second and fourth grade classes at Life School Red Oak about the exciting world of home building. From starting with an architectural plan, to meeting with customers, and finally seeing the plan come to life, Rich excited the kids with his passion for creating. He encouraged them to do well in school in the areas of math and science and spoke of how awesome it is to marry that world together with art and creativity and come out with architecture. He encouraged them to go to college and work hard and do well in school.

Jason spoke to them from the builders perspective and caught the attention of all the little fans of building blocks and Legos. He spoke to them about his passion for building that started as early as their age and how they too can turn that passion into a career in home building. He went through the fun steps of the home building process like laying the foundation and framing the home and everything in between. He also spoke about his favorite part of his job which is giving our #happyhomeowners their keys and seeing their dream home realized and ultimately building their story in that home.

Grandview ISD: An A-Rated School District One of the primary concerns for any parent is ensuring their child receives an excellent education. In Grandview, parents can rest assured knowing that their children will attend schools within the Grandview Independent School District (ISD), which boasts an impressive A rating. This distinction reflects the district's commitment to academic excellence and student success. With a dedicated team of educators and staff, Grandview ISD provides a supportive learning environment where every student has the opportunity to thrive. Beyond the accolades, what truly sets Grandview ISD apart is its focus on personalized learning and individualized attention.

This intimate setting fosters stronger relationships, personalized instruction, and a sense of belonging that is invaluable to a child's academic journey.
