Ness City Tiny House Project Greatly Impacting Small Schools Oct. 25th, 2019

NESS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Under the watchful eyes of their teachers, students drilled dozens of screws into metal frame after metal frame on a recent Wednesday morning at Ness City High School as they began a project that will provide vacation housing in Colorado and experience that will last the students a lifetime.

While 6A and 5A schools like Hutchinson and McPherson take on large building projects and complete an entire house over the school year, that’s not feasible for smaller schools like Ness City.

Instead, these mostly 3A, 2A and 1A schools are taking on a 3-1A-sized building project — tiny houses.
