Thomas, a
collision repair and refinishing technology student, and Charton, a drafting student, now
both qualify to participate in the National Leadership and Skills Conference in
Louisville, Ky., in June. Collision and repair technology student Jonathon
Vaughan of Jerusalem, welding student Bradley Duncan of Bauxite, and drafting
students Dylan McKnight of Morrilton and Luis Ocampo of Paris also received
awards in their respective events.
“The students
competed hard and did well against many post-secondary schools from across the
state,” Jayson Millheim, a drafting instructor and UACCM’s SkillsUSA advisor,
said. “Admissions also passed out over 100 tuition waivers to high school gold
medal winners across the state, and during the ceremony we were mentioned
several times as providing those tuition waivers.”
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Way to go!
