Look What Our Students Have Accomplished!

     

Gadsden City High School is excited to congratulate our own Miss Mary Margaret McCord for being named First Runner Up in the Miss USA Pageant on June 16, 2013! Miss McCord is a 2008 graduate of Gadsden City High School.


     
    Congratulations to all of the students from our Business Education Department who earned Microsoft Office Specialist certification!
     

Several students from Gadsden City High School participated in the Gadsden City Schools Tech Blitz in April. These students competed in areas including Web Design, Video Production, and more.


 


Students in GCHS's cosmetology program hosted a hair and fashion show on Saturday, May 18th. The show was similar to Bronner Brothers shows in Atlanta and throughout the United States. Students modeled clothes from Pretty Plus Clothing and JCPenney.

The cosmetology instructor, Tracey Billingsley, strives to instill in her students skills that can be taken with them wherever they go. Mrs. Billingsley plans to hold more hair and fashion shows in the future, and also plans to hold competitions both among her students and with schools in the surrounding area.


Congratulations to Rashad Carter! Rashad took first place at the state SkillsUSA competition in Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC). He will represent GCHS and Alabama at the National SkillsUSA competition this summer in Kansas City.

 

Addison Rains placed third in Prepared Public Speaking at the State HOSA Leadership Conference. Addison will attend the National HOSA Leadership Conference in June. Congratulations Addison!


Congratulations to Tyler Brown! Tyler won a silver medal in the SkillsUSA automotive contest at the BJCC. Tyler competed at the state SkillsUSA competition against the state's top 15 automotive students in a two day competition, finishing in second place!
