✨ More proof that our students are the best students: Seniors Matalie Ortega (left) and Starlette Johnson are headed to Washington, D.C. this September to represent Athens High School as SkillsUSA District 5 officers! They’ll join students from across the country at the SkillsUSA Washington Leadership Training Institute conference, where they’ll advocate for skilled trades and grow their leadership skills. Matalie serves as District 5 reporter, and Starlette as District 5 chaplain. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they are true leaders for our school and our region,” said Advisor Maria Cerrillo. We are SUPER proud of these two! 👏 #HornetNation
