HOME OF THE VIKINGS!
ACADEMY OF
ARCHITECTURE AND
CONSTRUCTION
The Academy of Architecture and Con-
struction at Huffman High School is one
of seven academies offered in the Bir-
mingham City School System. The
Academy at Huffman is a small learning
community of students who have
shown an overwhelming interest in the
areas of architecture and/or construc-
tion. The academy students are co-
horted in both their career and aca-
demic classes. Academy teachers work
together to ensure that all academy
students are equipped with the neces-
sary tools to take what they have
learned in the classroom setting out
into the world of work, either through
job shadowing experiences, paid or un-
paid internships, or volunteer work
throughout the community. Students
have the opportunity to gain industry
certifica-
tion, college
credit
through du-
al enroll-
ment clas-
ses, and
true hands-on work experience. The
ultimate goal of the academy is to
make sure that each student is college
and career ready.
