Whiz Kid: Anne Earnheart, Group Leader At Cranston Construction Career Academy

Anne Earnheart, grade 11, New England Laborers’ Cranston Public Schools Construction Career Academy.

Accomplishment: Earnheart is team leader for a project encompassing the 1950s at NEL/CPS CCA.

Key to Awesomeness: A take-charge attitude and a strong “can-do” spirit.

Earnheart and her team are building a representation of the Disneyland Castle. The team will also be featuring posters from the Korean War and an Elvis impersonator, which the team considered to be a big piece of the 50s. 

“This kind of stuff brings me back to [my] childhood. I’ve always connected Disney and children, so I thought this [the Disneyland Castle] was perfect,” Earnheart said. "This project is awesome too, because it's sustainable. We are using recycled over 90% recycled materials," reported Earnheart.

The project, spanning the entire 11th-grade, was on display March 2 at the Rhode Island Public Charter School Consortium.
