🔥STUDENT SUCCESS SPOTLIGHT🔥 Congratulations to Devin Waller, senior, on earning his SMAW 3G AWS Certification! What makes this even more impressive? Devin originally came just to observe, but after showing outstanding skill and consistency, he stepped up and tested on the spot. Over a demanding 3-hour testing period, he demonstrated determination, focus, and craftsmanship. A huge shoutout to Mr. Hurley, who was able to coach and guide him throughout the process (without hands-on assistance), helping Devin stay confident and locked in. Hard work pays off. First certification earned for our brand-new shop! His certification test did take place at Riveroak Technical College. We couldn’t be more proud of Devin and what this represents for our program and our students’ future. Way to set the standard, Devin!
