SkillsUSA Competition 2009

With over 130 contestants at the February 26 SkillsUSA Region 2 Competition, East Hall walked away with 5 winners.

SkillsUSA Region 2 includes counties from Union to Greene and from Forsyth to Hart. In all, 23 counties sent their students to the campus of North Georgia Technical College for a day of competition in technical fields such as Architecture, Cosmetology, and Industrial Trades.

SkillsUSA is a national career and technical student organization and each year a series of over 100 competitions allow students to test their skills. The theme for this year is “Champions at Work: Leadership in Transition.”

In support of this extraordinary opportunity for students to excel, many local businesses have contributed contest supplies and awards. “The kids are always so thrilled with these awards,” says David Stover, NGTC Heating and Air Instructor, “It means so much to them to be recognized by local businesses.” Stover was the NGTC team leader for the Region 2 SkillsUSA contest.

The February 26 event began at 9:00 AM and ended with an awards ceremony at 2:00 PM in the NGTC Clegg Auditorium.
