RECOGNIZING SIERRA HOLLEY
(Mr. HILL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, this Labor Day week, I recognize the
achievements of a young woman from Arkansas, Ms. Sierra Holley. Ms.
Holley is a student at the Conway Area Career Center and recently
completed the SkillsUSA Championships, where she received a Skill Point
Certificate in welding sculpture.
Sierra won the gold in our State's SkillsUSA Leadership Conference
and received a travel scholarship from the MikeRoweWORKS Foundation to
attend the national competition.
SkillsUSA's programs are integrated into career and technical
education through a framework of personal, workplace, and technical
skills grounded in academics.
More than 6,300 students from every State in the Union completed this
year's championships, and Arkansas is so proud of Sierra's
accomplishments.
SkillsUSA Championship events are a great way for middle, high
school, and college students to immerse in the field of a skilled
workforce.
Conway Area Career Center is located at Conway High School. I
congratulate Sierra for her great achievement and that of her teachers
at the Conway Area Career Center.
