Hartford Tile Company Donates over $100,000 of Materials to CT Tech High Schools

The Connecticut Technical High School System (CTHSS) received a donation of over $100,000 worth of high quality tile materials from Creations Factory Inc. of Hartford, Connecticut. Owner Luz Ferez said that they made the donation to invest in the future training of skilled tile installers. "There is a big demand for craftsmen in this field and we hope the donation will help students in the Tech schools learn more about the intricate work done in this area." CTHSS construction consultant Raymond Mencio said that he was extremely grateful for the tremendous donation. "Tile installation is an important part of the Masonry curriculum in our schools. This donation will definitely enhance the type of projects our students will be able to do in shop." The materials will be divided among the three Masonry programs in the CTHSS: Bullard-Havens Technical High School (Bridgeport), Ellis Technical High School (Danielson) and Prince Technical High School in Hartford.
