Students in the SkillsUSA clubs at Miller Junior High School and Aberdeen High School enjoyed considerable success at the various regional competitions that took place recently.
There are six regions in all and Aberdeen competes in Region 2, which includes the Olympic Peninsula, and most of Mason and Thurston counties. First place winners automatically qualify for the state championships in the spring, with other medalists potentially qualifying via other metrics.
