On October 4th, 2024, several Alief ISD students competed in The Texas High School Welding Series competition at Marshall's Texas State Technical College. This regional event can open doors for state competitions and create exposure for students that are pursuing a career in welding.
Emillio Alas of Elsik finished 2nd place in Level 3 competition Saturday at the TSTC campus in Marshall TX. Emillio was in a higher-level bracket with 26 students from all over the state competing. Emillio received $8000 in scholarship money and a D1.1 3G certification.
Fernado Deloera of Elsik finished 6th place level 3. Alexis Salgado of Elsik finished 5th place competing against 46 students. Alexis received $1000 in scholarships and a D1.1 3G/B certification.
Mr. Zachary and Mr. Polk at the Marshall Center for advanced careers are very excited for this year's competitions and look forward to seeing what our Alief welding students will accomplish next.
