Students enrolled in Trade and Industrial programs through the Academy at Virginia Randolph, and the ACE Centers at Hermitage and Highland Springs were busy demonstrating all the great things they’ve learned through the SkillsUSA District event! The regional competition was held on February 23rd at Henrico’s Hermitage ACE Center. In addition, throughout February, several District competitions were held at various locations throughout the region. Students enrolled in Henrico’s programs competed in a wide-array of areas including: automotive, barbering, carpentry, cosmetology, customer service, diesel, electricity, esthetics, job interviewing, masonry and welding. Students also competed in static displays such as occupational displays, poster display, promotional board and flyers, and scrapbooking. We are all very proud of the great job by the students, and appreciate the time end effort made by the teachers to prepare them! Henrico students placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd in many of the events – congratulations on a job well done! Students will have the opportunity to compete at the state level to compete the weekend of April 12th at Virginia Beach. Click here for more photos.
