Paso Robles High School SkillsUSA regional contestants win gold, silver, and bronze medals
– Paso Robles High School students succeeded at the California SkillsUSA Regional contests held virtually from January to February 2023, bringing home a total of 43 medals, including 22 gold, 13 silver, and eight bronze. These student winners will move on to the state and national SkillsUSA conferences.
Competing in 29 different contests, the PRHS had 117 students registered for the regional conference. The students took a SkillsUSA essentials quiz, sent in a resume, took competency tests in their contest content, and performed a contest task either live or recorded. The results were released on Feb. 23.
The gold medalists will now compete at the California State Conference from April 13 to 16 at the Ontario Conference Center against the other five regions of California. The winners of the state conference will attend the National Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, in June 2023.
