Earlier this month, students from the three high school welding programs in Lawrence County gathered to showcase their skills at a welding competition hosted by TCAT Pulaski. This event saw participation from a total of 85 students hailing from various local schools, all eager to demonstrate the expertise they have developed through their respective welding programs.
The competition proved to be a platform for many students to excel, with several local participants earning recognition for their outstanding performances. Among the notable achievements, Matti McDonald from Summertown High School was honored as the overall Grand Champion, highlighting the level of talent present in the region’s educational institutions. The event not only celebrated individual accomplishments but also underscored the importance of vocational training in shaping the future of these young welders.
