In celebration of National Women in Construction Week, Hunzinger Construction Company visited Goodland Montessori and S.C. Johnson Elementary yesterday. Team members, including Horlick alum and Hunzinger Project Manager Meagan DeGroot, read construction-themed books to K-4 students and shared insights about careers in construction.

Hunzinger is currently leading renovations at Goodland Montessori and recently completed work at SC Johnson Elementary as part of RUSD’s 2020 Referendum, making this a meaningful and inspiring connection for our students. #YouBelongHere
