DID YOU KNOW?

Our race t-shirts were created by Edgewood students!

Edgewood Middle School’s manufacturing program provides students with real-world, hands-on experience in producing high-quality products for customers.

Each year, students manufacture thousands of custom t-shirts, learning the full process from screen printing to vinyl cutting while applying quality control measures at every step. In addition to apparel, students design and produce custom awards using our CO₂ laser.

Through these projects, students gain valuable skills in manufacturing, problem-solving, teamwork, and attention to detail while delivering professional-level products to the community.
