SkillsUSA students at Grand Island Senior High continue to add hardware to the trophy case.
Ten GISH students attended the Mid-America Leadership Conference in Columbus, NE from Oct. 20-24 and brought home 12 awards.
The Mid-America is a leadership conference with training for state/local officers and advisors on how to run a local SkillsUSA chapter. Students are broken up into multiple chapters that complete a year's worth of SkillsUSA chapter business in three and a half days. Mid-America Conference chapters are composed of students from many different states. Together, the students elect chapter officers, run chapter business meetings, compete in competitions, organize industry tours, and participate in community service events.
“The Mid-America Leadership Conference is considered by many to be the most rigorous SkillsUSA event in the region,” said Alex Kemnitz, an alternative energy and robotics teacher at GISH.
Congratulations to the Islanders on attending and receiving awards at the Mid-America Leadership Conference!
