Grant distribution serves as an added component of the company’s Constructing Community involvement in Quincy

In a continuation of Callahan Construction Managers’ (Callahan) ongoing Constructing Communities partnership with Quincy High School – Community Partnership Program, the Bridgewater-based full-service construction management firm, along with other partners recently distributed $32,000 in total teacher mini-grant checks to local educators.

The 16th annual Teacher Mini-Grant Awards Ceremony honored 104 Quincy Public Schools teachers who were presented grant funding for their submitted proposals. Funding is made possible through the support of community business partners like Callahan. Collectively, local partners have donated a total of more than $324,000 in mini-grant funds over the longevity of the awards program.

“Callahan is honored to play a role in supporting the enrichment of Quincy youth by providing essential funding to these committed educators,” said Patrick Callahan, President of Callahan Construction Managers. “The teacher mini-grant program provides an ideal opportunity to expand educational opportunities in the community and support younger generations.”

In addition to this awards program, Callahan is actively involved with Quincy School ~ Community Partnership's President's Path as well as Career Connections. The company has partnered with select classrooms to educate a group of 20-30 senior-level students about the engineering and construction industry through job shadowing, active site visits and hands-on interaction. The four Quincy High School classes involved with the program include Carpentry, Electrical Tech, HVAC and Metal Fabrication.
