Do any MCPS middle or high schools still have woodworking or shop classes? My 5th grader is super into building stuff and I’d love to find a school that still offers something hands-on like that.

Aging myself, but back in the 80's most high schools in the county had Industrial Arts. Interested students could enroll in the class. I think it was also part of the arts rotation most kids took freshman year.
