Humble ISD celebrates Big Heroes Tiny Homes program

Humble ISD celebrated the Big Heroes Tiny Homes program at a banquet on 5/20/22. The event celebrated the successes of the program, which operates at Summer Creek High School, Kingwood Park High School, and Kingwood High School.
 
The Big Heroes Tiny Homes program offers students an opportunity to design and build homes for homeless veterans. Kingwood Park High School has built 4 homes and Summer Creek High School has built 3 homes. After the banquet, Summer Creek's third tiny home was dedicated.
 
Retired three star Army Lieutenant General Rick Lynch attended the banquet and spoke to the students. Lynch, a West Point graduate with 35 years in the U.S. Army, praised the program and the students for making a difference in the lives of homeless veterans. Lynch encouraged students to think about “how you’re living your dash,” referring to the dash between the birth date and death date on a tombstone.
 
After the General spoke, James Gaylord, the architecture teacher and construction manager of Big Heroes Tiny Homes at Summer Creek High School, led tours of the newly completed tiny house. The homes, he said, are funded by Operation Finally Home, a non profit dedicated to supporting veterans. The tiny house is 390 square feet and contains a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and a small living space.

Does anyone have access to photos? I would love to see the interior. I find tiny homes fascinating.

This is such a great program. I salute all the schools who do such a kind act for unfortunate Veterans.

@Annie : You can see one tiny home behind KPARK by the baseball fields. You can drive all the way around. Very nice.

@Annie: This was on KPHS website, but it's last year's project. I've passed by them when going to ball games, and they're pretty impressive.
