Friendship students place at DECA, SkillsUSA and other CTE competitions, advisers tell trustees
Summary
CTE teachers and advisers reported multiple state‑level awards, state qualifiers and national appearances for Friendship students in DECA, SkillsUSA, automotive, media and construction competitions; several advisers noted some final results were pending.
Advisers and teachers from Friendship and Memorial high schools updated trustees on career and technical education competition results, saying students advanced to state competitions across business, media, automotive, construction and law‑enforcement events. Devin Ward (speaker 25), the district audio‑video production teacher, said the program took 15 students to state in its first year and that several earned ribbons or medals for photography and technical tests.
Nick Bambizi (speaker 8), who identified himself as a DECA co‑adviser, and other sponsors praised students’ preparation for large statewide fields. The presenters emphasized the variety of competitions — from role plays and entrepreneurship tests to technical hands‑on events — and said some statewide scores were still being finalized. Several sponsors thanked district administration by name for supporting CTE programs.
