The Sandpoint High School graduate began working at Idaho Forest Group as a millwright apprentice through the School to Registered program. He recently completed the company's millwright apprenticeship program and is now an industrial electrician apprentice for the company.
SANDPOINT — Marie Price still remembers the apprentice.
The director of Idaho Forest Group's training and development program was visiting the company's Laclede mill early one morning when she discovered the Sandpoint High School student was already there.
"So this young man would come to work from 4 a.m. to 7 a.m. and then go to school," Price recalled. "I was so impressed with this young man's work ethic."
