I would like to extend a HUGE Congratulations to all our State Tech Students who attended and competed at the 2019 National Leadership and SkillsUSA Conference held in Louisville, Kentucky. It was a great week and wonderful experience for everyone! There were more than 6,600 students from every state and two territories competing in 102 competition areas.
Thank you to all who had a hand in the success of our students. Below is a list of the 22 students who participated in 16 competitions and how they placed. They all worked very hard and I am looking forward to having the returning students compete again next year!
