The Sugar House, an extension of the Forestry Department, is busy throughout the months of March and early April. Maple sugaring is one of the most popular spring projects; dozens of students gather sap from the school's extensive stand of maples, boil the sap, stoke fires, and finally pour and bottle the syrup.
In 2015, an architectural design course took on the task of remodeling the Sugar Shack. It was a perfect hands on project, giving students the chance to build and design a project that would be used by the Proctor community. It was subsequently dedicated the Johnson Family Sugarhouse.
Ask for a bottle of maple syrup when you visit!
