St. Joseph School

    Three St. Joseph High School students who are first year enrollees in the Conway Career Center's welding class finished a close 2nd Place to a more experienced Greers Ferry Westside team at the Arkansas SkillsUSA competition held at the Hot Springs Convention Center on April 11-12.
    Silver Medalists Nicholas Covington, Logan Simon and Wade Simon were given the project of building a welding table and had 6.5 hours to complete it. "They had to read the plans and determine their best course of action with the least amount of waste," instructor Jason Moix said. "There were also two types of welds they had to do."
    Along with their medals, these young men each took home welding backpacks filled with supplies. "I am extremely proud of the three of them and look forward to next year," Moix said.
