Andrew Post (CTE Tech instructor) and Glen Crook (CTE Manufacturing instructor) had the privilege of taking a group of students from the Broadcast Journalism (instructor is Drew Jones) and Manufacturing programs up to Portland for a few days to compete in the SkillsUSA State Leadership and Skills Conference. SkillsUSA is a national Career Technical Student Organization (CTSO). The 1st place winners of the national qualifying events may go represent their state at the national level.
Elizabeth Delgado and Ava Thomas won the state title in Audio & Radio Production and will represent Marshfield in the national tournament.
It was definitely a challenge as our students competed against some of the best CTE programs in the state. However, through hard work and dedication to their skills, they were able to compete with the best the state has to offer across all school classifications and continue to add to the Pirate legacy. Broadcast Journalism is going to have the opportunity to send a team in Audio and Radio Production to nationals for the second year in a row. Manufacturing students decided to branch out from the traditional welding events and competed in Additive Manufacturing, Safety Participation, Technical Drafting, and Technical Related Math. I am very proud of these exceptional students.
Please review the following results and congratulate the students if you see them.
