The Career Skills Olympics is for students in Madera, Mari­posa and Fresno counties who are enrolled in ROP classes.

The purpose of the Olympics is to provide recognition and encouragement for accomplishments in career skills, improve participation in educational programs and encourage public support of career preparation education.

The YHS students who re­ceived awards were: Tyson Son­derland, silver medal in media and top animator; Erick Rohrer, fourth in auto technology; Jared Shisler, fourth in welding and Marcus Trimble, fifth in welding.

Students participated in the areas of cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, mechanical drawing, digital imaging, architectural drafting, auto technology, welding, Web page design, media and medical terminology.

Mike Monahan, YHS auto technology teacher, noted that the Olympics involved “tough competition” for the students.
