Fannin County High School- XCEL North Ga Welding Competition

On Saturday October 22, 2022, the Fannin County High School Welding Class entered the XCEL North Ga Welding Competition held at Hardy’s Chevrolet in Dallas Ga.  There were 12 teams entered in this competition.  Four of these teams belonged to Fannin High.  1st place went to Fannin High School’s all-female team called Cinderella Carriage.  This team included Chelsey Frye, Emmaline Cochran and Brooklyn Henderson.  3rd place went to Fannin High School’s team called Red Semi Truck.  The members of this team were Jeremy Tammen, Noah Turner, Jorge Estrade, and Jo Jo Annis. Also, in individual competition, Jorge Estrada won best uphill 6010 and 7018.
Our welding teams accomplished a lot on Saturday. I am very proud of the HARD WORK and dedication it took to build these projects. Students not only had their welding skills showcased in this competition but also showcased their hard work, time management skills, and ability to work with others in a team setting.  Students had to step into leadership rolls to make sure the project was complete on time.
