Last week, Wharton-Smith employees stepped out of their offices and into classrooms across the region for the Great American Teach-In, an event designed to connect professionals with students eager to learn about different industries. Our team members visited schools from kindergarten to college, sharing insights about careers in construction and what makes Wharton-Smith a leader in the field.

From interactive activities to engaging stories, our employees highlighted the diverse opportunities in construction, emphasizing how our projects shape communities. They also showcased our company values, inspiring students to consider how their passions might one day contribute to building a brighter future.

For Wharton-Smith, participating in the Great American Teach-In is about more than just outreach; it’s about planting seeds for the future. By speaking directly to students, we spark curiosity about careers in construction, promote STEM education, and demonstrate how critical our industry is to daily life. This engagement ensures the next generation understands the creativity, innovation, and teamwork behind every successful project.

We believe in the power of education and mentorship. The Teach-In allows us to give back to our communities and connect with future leaders. These interactions align with our mission to build strong relationships and foster growth both within our company and in the communities we serve.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to every employee who participated and shared their passion for construction. Together, we are inspiring the builders and innovators of tomorrow.
