Summary

The Glynn County SkillsUSA chapter was recognized by the state as a chapter of excellence. Students raised more than $6,000 to support competition travel; 31 students will compete at the state championships in Atlanta and 14 advanced from regionals.

Dr. Deppenhart introduced the SkillsUSA chapter update and invited student officers to present their work. Vice president Raven Seals said officers attended the fall leadership conference in North Georgia and participated in sessions on leadership and teamwork. Secretary Stephanie Hernandez said the chapter raised more than $6,000 through a haunted house, textathon and a Super Bowl barbecue to support travel and competition expenses. President Abby Edney said 82 students are members; 31 will compete at the state championships in Atlanta and 14 won at the regional level.

Board members congratulated the students and noted local workforce development connections: a commenter referenced a regional economic development authority report estimating a $40 million project could produce about 100 jobs, suggesting local training pipelines may align with emerging opportunities. Students and staff said the chapter’s fundraising and competitive success help provide those pathways.
