Advisor, Clint Watson, took six young men to compete in the State SkillsUSA Skills Competition on April 7-10. The competition was held in two places: the Pacific Steel Arena at the fairgrounds and the Paris Gibson School.
Aiden Mosher received the silver medal in Cabinetmaking and Spencer Abbott received the bronze medal in the same event. Trenton Essary received a silver medal in Technical Drafting (CAD). Teigen Volkman received the silver medal in Power Equipment Technology. Aiden Kitto and Teigen Volkman received the bronze medal in the Welding Fabrication Contest.
Our students were also competitors in an individual welding competition, woods furniture contest and the Job Interview Contest.
The events took place from Tuesday evening until Thursday evening, with the Awards Ceremony taking place Friday morning.
I am very proud of their accomplishments.
A big THANK YOU goes out to the parents and everyone else who donated time, money and support to our Local Chapter.
