problems until January,”
Brown said.
As for the time commitment,
Brown said it is
the biggest challenge students
face, and “there is
constantly kids coming in
before and after school,
during study hall time
and doing work outside of
school to prepare for the
different contests.”
He added that the students
take on the responsibilities
of preparing for the
competitions in addition to
their school work.
“We don’t change our
curriculum just because
there is a contest coming
up, so they do have to put
in the extra time, no doubt
about it,” he said. “I tell
the students each year, ‘I’ll
be there and am willing to
get you ready, but you’re
going to have to put in the
time.’”
Susan Palis has been
the SkillsUSA advisor for
about three years and an
LTHS business teacher
for 16 years. She gives a
lot of credit to the teachers
who guide the students
through their preparation
processes, months before
competitions.
“It is a really positive experience
with the kids and
seeing their experience,”
she said her favorite part
about working with LTHS
students in SkillsUSA is,
“being able to see in their
eyes when they achieve
something.”
Brown agreed.
“Competitions are very
much a real-world problem
solving event for these
students and to see them
grasp onto that and improve,
enjoy and succeed,
that’s an incredible feeling,”
he said.
