On Friday, May 23, Wesley Corder, Agriculture Teacher from Eastern Randolph High School, took eleven students to RCC’s Archdale Campus to attempt their AWS D1.1 welding certification. Mr. Corder is proud to share that all eleven earned their GMAW (MIG/wire welding) certifications, and ten also earned their SMAW (stick welding) certifications. The only student who didn’t earn SMAW on Friday was Abigail Taylor—because she already earned it last May. As of now, every student in the group holds both certifications—a major accomplishment, especially considering most are just in 9th or 10th grade. To earn these credentials, students had to complete an 8" fillet weld on 1/8" steel, which had to pass a destructive bend test without cracking or separation. These skills can lead directly to jobs starting at $18–$25/hour. The RCC welding instructors—and even the restaurant staff where the students had lunch—were highly impressed with these students' skills, manners, and work ethic. "They truly represented what it means to be a Wildcat," states Mr. Corder. Special recognition goes to Wesley Cooke, who was the first in the group to earn both certifications—on his first attempts. "This was the best group of students I’ve ever taken to RCC for certification. I’m incredibly proud of them," states Mr. Corder. Congratulations to the following students: Bryson Brown Wesley Cooke Eli Cox Brantlee Deaton Nathan Draughn Nathaniel Farlow Sam Goodson Landon Peterson Cody Ritter Justin Shane Abigail Taylor

Congratulations to Haley Knight, a ninth grader at Eastern Randolph High School, on being a nominee in April for the “Doing Good in Your Neighborhood” program organized by the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office. Today, she was awarded a certificate from the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office and a “summons” to Chick-fil-A for doing good work in the community. Haley was nominated by Brenda Cockman. Haley has maintained a straight A average across all subjects while actively contributing to the school baseball team, singing in her youth choir, and participating in dance. Additionally, she has helped with more than four benefits to raise money for people in her community. One was an online bake sale for another ERHS student involved in an accident. Furthermore, she provides significant assistance to a family member in need. Haley is a strong advocate for mental health, always willing to help or lend an ear to those in need. Her youth leader remarked that she consistently seeks to support her peers and be a source of comfort. Ms. Cockman emphasized that 'this remarkable young lady would selflessly give you the shirt off her back and truly deserves recognition!' Way to go, Haley! Your family and community appreciate your passion for listening and helping others.
