Congratulations, SkillsUSA Medalists!

SkillsUSA competitors posing in front of the school.

Our students showed up in a big way at the 2026 SkillsUSA State Conference in Fairmont!

Here’s a look at the impact:

  • 61 JRTI students competed.
  • 37 contests entered.
  • Placed in 19 contests.
  • 29 students earned medals.

Out of more than 1,300 competitors statewide, our students represented 4.5% of the field — and nearly half brought home medals!

We couldn’t be more proud of the skill, preparation, and professionalism our students demonstrated.

This is what hands-on learning looks like.
