New Apprentice School Facility

The Apprentice School is proud to announce the grand opening of a brand new 85,000 square-foot Apprentice School Facility. On May 3, 2012, and in partnership with the City of Newport News, the Commonwealth of Virginia, Armada Hoffler Holding Co. and Huntington Ingalls Industries, The Apprentice School broke ground on a development project pioneering the revitalization of the downtown Newport News area. The development's mix of workforce housing, retail space, a parking garage and the school's instructional spaces reflects Newport News Shipbuilding's commitment to community and education.
