Mr. Dennis Regan

TEACHER   --   Construction Core

My background is in construction with degrees in Construction Technology and Construction Management.  I worked in residential and commercial construction and was a licensed building contractor in Moore County for 13 years before I started teaching.

I'm looking forward to this, my 11th year of teaching at Southern Lee, and I'm excited about working together with my 2023-2024 students.

In class this term, we'll explore the construction industry trades, learning both traditional and new, digital, tools and skills that should prove valuable throughout the future.  

Good luck this year and do not hesitate to ask for help if you have any questions or concerns.
