Betty Wells was the first Art teacher at
Watauga High School.
The Business education department put together the cornerstone and foundation for the future of our program. This dynasty would last at
WHS for 20 years.
Another foundation was laid at
WHS. The first house project ever constructed was begun in 1969. Under the instruction of Robert "Bob" Coffey and John C. Smith (below)
The Carpentry and Bricklaying classes built the framework for the school custodians house. It
was near the entrance of the school where the tennis courts are now.
The frame work is well underway in this photo, soon the bricklaying will begin.
Mr. John Smith's personal truck was used to haul students and materials to and from the site. The house would be finished next year and the school custodian would live on campus for many years to come.
