Gold Chapter of Excellence
The Apalachee SkillsUSA Chapter earned the Gold Chapter of Excellence status. Only 8 chapters in the state earned this level! A lot of effort and documentation are required by the students and advisor as part of this recognition. Amanda Pugh is the lead SkillsUSA advisor.
This year marks the 10th anniversary for the Apalachee local chapter. Officers hosted an alumni event in December. They are currently planning an alumni event to include administrators, business and industry at the Awards Banquet in May.
