Students receive awards for SkillsUSA national roofing competition.

The third annual roofing competition was held during the week of June 23 at SkillsUSA’s National Leadership & Skills Conference in Atlanta.

On June 27, Damien Holloway of Florida received first place in the High School category. Brigham Richardson of Arizona received second place, and Nathan Luz-Santos of Tennessee received third place.

Samuel Oelfke of Minnesota received first place in the College/Postsecondary category. Chenxi Huang of Florida received second place, and Kelly Cosgrove of New York received third place.

First-place winners received $1,500; second-place winners received $1,000; and third-place winners received $750. First-place winners also received a champions belt, a new Leister Triac ST handheld hot air welder and a crystal award plaque.

Students from throughout the U.S. competed in state competitions to earn the right to compete for the national title. There were 21 competitors from 17 states in this year’s roofing competition.

In 2022, one of NRCA’s initiatives was to help SkillsUSA, an organization whose mission is to prepare and empower students for careers in the trades, to incorporate roofing into its national construction skills competition. As a result, the 2023 SkillsUSA competition included roofing for the first time.

NRCA thanks sponsors and NRCA members for their valuable support and involvement, which helped to make this year’s competition a tremendous success.

NRCA, contractors, trade schools and numerous industry partners are working together to get roofing training and exposure to more young people. You can play a vital part in recruiting hardworking, skilled young workers to your company by partnering with a trade school in your area. To learn more, contact NRCA Director of Workforce Development Shane Muncy at (800) 323-9545, ext. 7551 or [email protected].

This last weekend SkillsUSA Lyman participated in the Longwood Pirate Seafood Festival. We all had a great time.
Our main purpose for going was to raise money for the upcoming SkillsUSA Florida State Leadership and Skills Conference where our students will compete with those from acrossed the state.

Our students built/made crafts and other things using some of their skills and sold them to raise the funds.

If you would like to help them out please send a DM to me and we will be in touch. We will need to take 23 people so all help will be greatly appreciated!!

These students along with students from Robotics, Plumbing, and Commercial Roofing will be advancing onto the SkillsUSA Florida State Leadership and Skills Conference in Jacksonville, Florida April 14-17, 2024. Also, for the first time the Welding Program competed at a SkillsUSA Contest. This year we were represented by two sophomores. Although these students did not place, both are highly motivated to learn the skills they need and practice for next year's competition. One of these students was even heard to say, "Is it next year yet"!

We would like to challenge other high schools in SCPS take up the challenge of CTSOs, especially SkillsUSA and see their students excel in Career and Technical Student Associations.
