Brent Messmore is the lead instructor inside WCA Construction and worked in collaboration with Builders Mart Manager Tom Ness and colleague Matt Miner of Builders Mart.
“Builder’s Mart of Warsaw, in conjunction with DeWalt Tools, is proud to have been able to make a donation toward the purchase of tools and equipment by the Whitko Career Academy. It is our hope that the students will find having this equipment helpful and educational. When Brett Messmore approached us with the news that he would be teaching the start-up program at Whitko Career Academy, we knew we would help in any way we could. We have enjoyed a long-standing relationship with Warsaw (Community) High School and Tippecanoe Valley trades programs, and the entire Builders Mart organization hopes to continue to foster these relationship for the future realization of the programs. We thank you for the opportunity to contribute to your future success,” Ness said.
“Today was a very exciting day for the Construction Trades class. We received a wide variety of equipment that we need in order to go off-campus and do various jobs within our community. Up until now, we have gotten by with personal tools, but now my students can learn by using state-of-the-art tools and safety equipment. This contribution from Builders Mart of Warsaw and DeWalt Tools enables us to do about any job we want to. I greatly appreciate our ongoing partnership with companies. Support for this Construction Trades class from (Superintendent) Dr. (Brandon) Penrod and our corporation is a statement of how they want Whitko Career Academy to advance in giving our students the best opportunity to succeed in the classroom and in life,” said Messmore.
