Rick Snyder talks to the crowd as students and alumni from Dakota High School’s skilled-trades programs listen in background. By Chad Selweski [email protected] @cbsnewsman on Twitter When Gov. Rick Sny- der took a seat at a Da- kota High School facility on Wednesday to sign into law legislation that will boost skilled-trades — Career Technical Ed- ucation — in Michigan high schools, he didn’t have to look far to see evidence of CTE’s value. The intricately carved wood desk brought in for the bill-signing cer- emony was meticulously created by Andrew Bal- prez, a 2012 Dakota High graduate, who learned to master computerized woodworking technol- ogy while attending CTE classes as a senior. The desk serves as a tribute to the U.S. Air Force and to Balprez’s fa- ther, Andy, an Air Force veteran, with computer- assisted carvings of the F-22 military aircraft. Balprez downloaded schematic drawings for the F-22 jet from a gov- ernment website. He plugged those blueprints into a high-tech carving/ grinding machine to pro- duce exact replicas of the plane’s features. Now a full-time stu- dent at Macomb Com- munity College, Balprez said he was honored his award-winning desk was chosen for the event, and he explained that he took time outside of class to complete the project. “It took about six months. At home, I worked on it at least 45 minutes to an hour every day. I loved every bit of it,” he said.
