Fort Frye High School’s youngest graduate, Caeden Lynch, is using his skills learned at the Washington County Career Center to advance the school.
Lynch completed the carpenter program and started working at Grae-Con Construction shortly after graduating. The company was commissioned to redesign the cafeteria of the Career Center.
Lynch said he became interested in carpentry because of a family project.
“Between my seventh and eighth grade my family built a warehouse”, he explained. “That interested me.”
Lynch found that he isn’t the only one in his family who worked on construction projects – his father worked in the US Navy on electrical work.

“I like the work. It occupies me”, said Lynch.
Grae-Con was hired to replace the ceiling in the kitchen, put in new flooring, take out the four main pillars in front of the cafeteria, and put in a new pillar, he said.
As part of the program, Lynch said, he learned basic home and commercial joinery skills as well as operating a forklift truck.
While Lynch was working in the cafeteria on Thursday, his labor director Larry Stoke showed him how to properly do the prep work for a new column.
After leading him through the replacement of the board of trustees, he let Lynch take over the next board members.

“We build forms to hold the pillars” said Stoke.
When he’s not working, Lynch says he prefers to stay home and relax, talk to friends, and play games.
He said he likes role-playing games and massively multiplayer online games.
“My favorite is an older game … Kingdom Hearts” said Lynch. “I play on the hardest level of difficulty. I like the challenge it has. “
