Earning California Gold at SkillsUSA

53 students and four DATA teachers had an amazing experience at the 46th Annual State Leadership Conference and SkillsUSA Championships, April 4th-7th, at the Town and Country Resort down in San Diego. 

18 students received medals in 10 out the 15 skill and leadership competition areas entered. Four golds were earned with the opportunity to compete at the 49th Annual National Leadership and Skills Conference in Kansas City this June against other students from around the U.S.
