Champions At Region Competition
What Does A Champion At Work Look Like? Josh Thomas, SkillsUSA president of Fannin County High School, demonstrated what a Champion at Work is by representing our school and acquiring 1st place at state competition in 2008. Our champion then went on to represent the state of Georgia at the National Competition.
