🎉🔥 Huge Congrats to Our ALHS Welding Students! 🔥🎉
Albert Lea High School students made a powerful statement at yesterday’s 3rd Annual SE MN Welding Competition in Rochester! Out of 25 schools and more than 150 individual welders, our students secured a 2nd place team finish with a score of 63.25 — just 0.25 points behind the 1st place team! Additionally, 4 of our welders finished in the top 13 out of the over 150 students competing 🏆💪
This level of success reflects the strength of our welding program— and the benefits of more than $65,000 in new welding equipment for our lab which was secured last spring via competitive grants. With welding recognized as a high-demand career by the MN Department of Labor and Industry, our students are developing in-demand skills for strong futures.
Each school is invited to enter 6 students into the welding competition. ALHS students participating this year included: Theodore Bowman, Dakota Braund, Kaylyn Eide, Keaton Bremer, Daniel Flores (not pictured), and John Leland.
Special thanks to ALHS graduate and longtime ALHS Career Technical Education teacher, Mr. Jeff Jenson, for his outstanding leadership and mentorship of our ALHS welding students!
