    Due to the lock down all competitions at the State and National level were cancelled for 2020. We are saddened for the Automotive and Construction students who missed out on this opportunity but are proud that our organization did what was best at the time for the health and well being of everyone. 

    The calander will be changed for 2021 as soon as we recieve dates next school year but are usually around the same time so the previous years calander should provide a good idea of when things will happen next year. 

    Have a great summer
