Construction students traveled to Tucson Magnet High School as visiting competitors
last week; as visitors we could not officially place and earn stage recognition,
however, the contest would demonstrate our position by points. Long story short we
didn't officially bring home medals. If we would have been able to bring home
medals this is who and where we placed. Please congratulate them on a job well
done, the instructors from the Tucson area were very excited to have us there and
could not stop talking about their skills and commitment.
They represented CGUHS well.
