Thirteen Queen City High School senior welders traveled to Jefferson High School on Apr. 28, and received their AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Certifications. These students have practiced for months in preparation and it all paid off. The school district is so proud of each of these students and to quote one of the students, “We couldn’t have done it without you, Mr. Thompson.” Courtesy photos
