During the week of April 24, 2021, Welding students at Rensselaer Central High School started their American Welding Society (AWS) Welding certification tests. For students who wish to pursue a career in Welding, Ironworking, Fabrication, or Engineering, this certification test can help them secure a job in their field. A performance qualification test is two parts, visual and destructive. Since this is a performance qualification test, there is no studying, just lots of practice and hard work. After all inspections, eleven students came out of the process as newly certified welders! This test is not an easy task and these students have acquired a great amount of skill to pass this inspection. Mr. Bryce Tanner, RCHS Welding Instructor, is extremely proud of his students and all their hard work! Mr. Tanner stated a huge thanks goes to Chief Buildings of Rensselaer for making this possible. Not only do they donate the material for the test, but also their time and resources to help administer it.

When most community members think of students, they think of them as band members, athletes, scholars, performers and various other traditional labels that have been associated with school-age kids throughout decades. However, through the building trades class at Twin Lakes High School, students from across White, Carroll and even Pulaski counties are quickly earning a new title: home builders.
