More than 2,000 students attended SkillsUSA Georgias annual State Leadership and Skills Conference; 10 CCSD students from Cherokee HS and Etowah HS won awards in several categories. Two Cherokee HS students earned first-place awards in healthcare categories, and a team of CHS students placed third in the Health Knowledge Bowl. Etowah HS students earned second and third place finishes in video production competitions. SkillsUSA allows our career-focused students the chance to demonstrate the workforce-ready skills they are learning in our high schools, said Dr. Frank R. Petruzielo, Superintendent of Schools. We are extremely proud of these students, who have shown they are among the best in the state among their peers and are well-prepared to pursue potential careers that they discovered in one of our classrooms.
