LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Three Lake County teachers are the recipients of grants from the North Coast Builders Exchange (NCBE).

The NCBE is a member-operated, not-for-profit association serving the construction industry primarily in Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake counties.

More than $2,000 was awarded to three teachers to purchase supplies and tools for their construction, woodworking and fabrication classes.

Recipients are Janice Luke of Lower Lake High, Mike Jones of Kelseyville High and John Moorhead of Clear Lake High.

The NCBE provides small grants to school programs to support the building trades.

Moorhead will be spending his grant at Mendo Mill in Lakeport. “NCBE has been a real godsend over the years, with grant support, having speakers available for my classes, the Careers in Construction Expo – for students interested in the construction trades and more. This help is especially welcome, given the challenges with the economy in the last few years.”
