What an incredible week at the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference!
This photo captures most of our MTCHS team following Friday night`s Awards Session. (Nicole was still hard at work in her role as a SkillsUSA National Officer!)
Over the past week, our students experienced all that NLSC has to offer, not just the competitions, but also the leadership sessions, networking, and community experiences. They embraced every opportunity and demonstrated the skill, professionalism, and determination that brought them to Atlanta. We think they had a little fun along the way, too!
We`re proud of all they accomplished this week and grateful for the experiences, memories, and friendships they`ve gained.
Congratulations, Dragons, on an outstanding NLSC! ๐ฅ๐
We were so excited to hear our Web Design & Development team called to the stage during the SkillsUSA NLSC Awards Session on Friday night!
Daniel and Kian earned a Bronze Medal in Web Design & Development, placing them among the top three teams in the nation. That`s an incredible accomplishment in one of the largest and most competitive student leadership and skills events in the country.
Making it to Nationals is a challenge in itself. Earning a spot on the podium against the best state champions from across the United States is truly exceptional.
We`re so proud of them! Congratulations, Daniel & Kian! Great job, guys! ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐
One MTCHS student was missing from the picture we posted from last nightโbecause she was already hard at work!
Nicole Prosser is serving as the SkillsUSA National Treasurer, one of the highest student leadership positions in the organization. During Opening Session, Nicole joined fellow national officers in leading the event, taking the stage before thousands of SkillsUSA members from across the country.
Nicole has worked incredibly hard all year and has maintained a positive, professional attitude through countless meetings, events, and miles of travel. Her dedication to SkillsUSA and commitment to student leadership have made us proud every step of the way.
