Benson Cleans Up Again At SkillsUSA State Competition
Students from Benson Polytechnic High School took top honors at the annual SkillsUSA Oregon Championship held April 9-10 at Linn-Benton Community College in Albany. Benson sent a total of 50 students to the SkillsUSA Oregon championships this year. Thirty-three students won awards in 19 events, including 13 who took gold medals, qualifying for the SkillsUSA National Championships in Kansas City in June.
If you would like to help defray the costs of sending these outstanding students to the National Championships, please contact Mary Ganoe, SkillsUSA Advisor at 503.916.6411 or mganoe [at] pps.k12.or.us
