June 2007

CLUBS/ORGANIZATIONS
Shaw broadcast students, Chantelle Quintana, Gerald Charleston, and Jeremy Miles, are attending the National SkillsUSA TV News Anchoring competition the week of June 25--30 in Kansas City, Missouri, along with Mr. Kip Patterson, GMR lead teacher. The SkillsUSA championship this week is the "showcase" for the best career and technical students in the nation. It is a multimillion dollar event that occupies a space comparable to 16 football fields. In the 2007 competition there are over 5,000 contestants in 87 separate events and approximately 1,500 judges and contest organizers from labor and management.  SkillsUSA is a national nonprofit organization for high school and college students preparing to enter careers in trade, technical, or service occupations. Each state organization holds its own annual competition in several areas with their state winners advancing to the national competition. Chantelle, Charles, and Jeremy placed first in Georgia. In addition to their broadcast competition, they will attend workshops and conferences. Go Raiders, you're the best!
