“One of my favorite highlights was building the epoxy river table. Students designed the tabletop layout, mixed and poured the resin "river," and learned to clamp and level the slab during curing. The project taught us to be careful measuring, working with mixed materials (wood + resin), and problem-solving when voids or bubbles appeared. I love the chill, welcoming environment we’ve built — it feels like a mini getaway on campus. When students step into the shop, the pace slows, tools hum instead of rush, and everyone gets a chance to focus with fewer distractions. That calm atmosphere encourages creativity and steady work: students try new techniques, take pride in careful craftsmanship, and support each other without pressure. Mr. Kieso makes a huge difference — he's always available to guide, demonstrate, and answer questions so students learn faster and safer. He breaks down tricky skills (like proper hose routing, fitting, and maintenance), shows step‑by‑step techniques, and gives hands‑on corrections during practice.” ~ Daniel Lang
“My favorite thing we have done in Construction this year is the Makers’ Market. I love that I get the opportunity to make things for myself, or gifts that someone can use everyday. Construction gives me the ability to know how to use tools and knowledge on fixing things around the house, and experience for jobs in the construction trade.” ~ Trey Bailey
Mr. Kieso teaches Principles of Construction, Construction Tech 1, and Construction Tech 2—and has been a fantastic addition to Robinson’s Carpentry program. His favorite CTE moment this year was our Makers’ Market, and his proudest project is Joey Matus’ SkillsUSA table. Under his guidance, students have built practical projects for other programs, from chicken pens for the barn to a sturdy AV table for the gym.
Big news: next year our Carpentry program expands to include Entrepreneurship and Mill & Cabinetmaking Technology plus new certification and practicum opportunities. Thank you, Mr. Kieso, for inspiring hands-on learning and real-world skills! 🛠️✨

Teacher Resident Intern, London Zirretta, using the high school library as both a professional planning hub and a study space for college. From lesson planning for her classroom to studying for college, the high school library is her go-to space for growth. Libraries aren’t just for students; they empower educators in training to balance classroom responsibilities with continuing education. #RobinsonISD
