MNTC Students Earn Awards at Spring Skills Contests

Moore Norman Technology Center full-time career program students earned awards at regional, state and district skills contests this spring.

Each national student organization allows first-through-third place state contest winners to compete in their national contests, with the exception of SkillsUSA, where only first place winners move ahead to the national competition. This year all remaining state and national events are canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, to include contests for Business Professionals of America (BPA), Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) and Technology Student Association (TSA).

The DECA student organization’s state contest was held in February in Midwest City. MNTC students competed in SkillsUSA regional and district contests at various technology centers across the state in February, including at MNTC. Results from these contests are:
