two Career Center students, Kaylee Strong, a Benton High School student, and Jac Campos, a Malvern High School student, both State SkillsUSA Officers, chaperoned by their SkillsUSA Advisor, Mr. Bobby Shell, attended the SkillsUSA Washington Leadership Training Institute in Washington D.C. During the week's events, they learned to strengthen their leadership skills and were afforded opportunities to engage with Congressional and Senate leaders. They also attended a special laying of the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the Arlington Cemetery, among other special events. These students and their advisor represented ASU Three Rivers Career Center and the State of Arkansas well and we are proud of them!
