High school students build houses for homeless veterans

Localish

Students at Summer Creek and Kingwood Park High schools joined together on a project called "Students Helping Veterans: Big Heroes, Tiny Homes" over the past school year.

On each campus, students have been working hard to build a tiny home for a homeless veteran and have raised thousands of dollars from the community.

"Our vision all along is to challenge every high school in America to build one, " architecture teacher James Gaylord said.

Even though it is the weekend, some of the team and other volunteers came out to work on the house! We began painting the exterior and started finishing up the interior. @HumbleISD_CTE @HumbleISD @HumbleISD_KPHS @HumbleISD_FDN #wearekpark pic.twitter.com/b8rJTs7ZYQ
