| Six Calhoun-Gilmer Career Center students representing both Calhoun and Gilmer Counties competed at the West Virginia Technology Student Association (TSA) Virtual State Conference, on March 24th and 25th. Students prepared for weeks, and the fruits of that hard work were revealed at the Awards Ceremony held on April 9. In celebration of the inaugural year for the CGCC TSA Chapter, the chapter provided lunch for the CGCC Staff before the Awards Ceremony. A delicious meal of pizza, home-cut and seasoned coyote fries, and salad was prepared by the Coyote Beautiful Simulated Workplace culinary team; TSA members assisted.
