Lindbergh High School and South Technical High School graduate Matthew Anderson recently won the bronze medal in his division at the national SkillsUSA Championships in Kansas City.
Anderson, a 2010 graduate, competed in “Technical Medical Math,” winning first place at the division and state levels before advancing to nationals. He was enrolled in South Tech’s Lab Tech/Pharmacy program.
“Matt competed in Technical Medical Math, which is pretty hard,” Rosina Palmer, his SkillsUSA adviser at South Tech, stated in a news release. “Only the best of the best make it to nationals. They are extremely focused and want to win.”
About 5,600 secondary and post-secondary students from across the country and Puerto Rico compete in 96 SkillsUSA contests at the national competition. Students who compete must be enrolled in career technical education programs.
