Once again, the Chattooga High School Welding Team has won first-place in the state-wide welding competition.

The team competed recently in the Skills USA – Georgia competition.  Skills USA is a national, nonprofit student organization that has developed more than 10 million workers through active partnerships between employers and educators. Hundreds of American industries have turned to Skills USA as the source for employees who exemplify “Champions at Work” in both skills and attitudes.

Not only is CHS the first-place in the state, Junior Sage Owings won state-champion welder for the second year-in-a-row.

Chattooga’s team includes Senior Bayln Stephens, Junior Rhett Rosson, Sophomore William Elrod and Sophmore Gavin Jarrett.
