After a workshop in the morning, where the students were able to practice 5 different categories (MIG, 7018 Stick welding, 6010 Stick welding, Oxy-acetylene cutting, and TIG), they participated in a friendly competition against students from other high schools. The results are as follows:

Our 7–12th grade advisory students put their words into action by heading out into our local neighborhoods to help make a difference. Together, they collected nearly 100 pounds of trash—showing what teamwork and community pride can accomplish!
We’re proud of our students for taking initiative and helping keep our community clean and beautiful. Every small effort adds up to a big impact! 💚🌱
