SkillsUSA DISTRICT CONTEST UPDATE: (PLEASE FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM FOR CONTEST PICS: #macskillsusa)

SkillsUSA is back at MAC!

The award-winning SkillsUSA McCallum chapter is back and better than ever! Last year we dominated at district contests, placing first in web design, digital illustration, and game design, second in Quiz Bowl, and third in T-shirt design. Many students progressed to the state competition where we placed first in digital illustration and second in web design. We are back for our second year and ready to go all the way to nationals!

Last year we couldn’t have made it as far as we did without your support. This year we are aiming to be the best. Since the last membership year, our beloved club has grown providing us with an abundance of talent and potential. Because our McCallum chapter has expanded, the costs to compete have increased as well. We will need more funds in order to get to competition. 

Please help us reach our full potential by donating whatever you can!

These donations will go towards paying for:

• our uniforms
• transportation
• various contest materials

You can donate through this website and see the progress toward our goal.

As a SkillsUSA member myself, it is safe to say that this club has saved my life and the lives of other students as well. High school is hard, but it is opportunities like this club that have given me hope. Last year when it seemed like it wouldn’t get better, there was always SkillsUSA. Every Tuesday and Thursday from 4:30-6:00 (and sometimes 8:00) we would congregate in Mr. Hernandez’s room to prepare for our contests. Together we lift each other up and help each other out. The people in this club are like a second family to me. SkillsUSA is more than a club, it is a community. 

Please help us get to contest by donating and spreading the word! Your support is what makes this club possible. Thank you for giving us this opportunity!

Sincerely,

Ruby

Our ultimate goal this year is to raise $2000 for contest attire and materials. Funds raised beyond our goal will go directly to any additional competition resources needed including funds for state contest in Corpus Christi WHEN we win at regionals!

Please help give our students the opportunity to grow as individuals building confidence and gaining real-world skills through SkillsUSA!
