Congratulations to Cuyahoga Heights High School (CHHS) senior Anthony Grissman and his teammates. They took 3rd place in a regional Skills USA contest and in doing so, qualified to compete at the state SkillsUSA competition in May. Anthony and his teammates, Anthony Marino (TRECA), Will Bernatovicz, and Joe Rozak (both from Revere High School), are enrolled in the Construction Trades program at the Cuyahoga Valley Career Center.
Held on Friday, January 30 at the Great Big Home and Garden Show at the I-X Center, the competition challenged teams of four to collaborate on building a detailed project, demonstrating expertise in carpentry, roofing, electrical work, plumbing, and masonry. Teams had to interpret a complex blueprint, follow special instructions from a pre-competition orientation, and develop a project completion plan to present to the judges. Judging criteria included presentation skills, adherence to building codes, jobsite safety and cleanliness, material organization, tool management, and overall project completion.
