All four area schools won the Tennessee SkillsUSA career technical education competition in Chattanooga in April, with competitors from all four eligible to move on to national competition in Atlanta in June.
Northeast State Community College signed the career technical education students in a ceremony April 18 at the main campus in Blountville. Sullivan East High School had six among the 24, Dobyns-Bennett High School five. The event is called the NC3 Signing Day, which is short for National Career and Technical Education Letter of Intent Signing Day
