Eureka senior elected to state office for SkillsUSA

This year for the first time in the history of Eureka Springs High School, a student has been elected to a statewide office for Skills USA.

Cheyanne Pierce a senior at Eureka Springs High School was named a secondary officer for the state Skills USA office.

Cheyanne is spending her summer attending leadership conferences, representing the state at the National Conference in Kansas City in June, and she is scheduled to go to Nebraska and Washington, D.C. in the fall for extended leadership conferences.

This has been a great opportunity for Cheyanne and she is learning a lot and hopes to be able to have a meeting once a month this school year to help teach these leadership skills to her fellow students.

Cheyanne also competed in web design at the state level for the first time and her and her teammate, Sabrina Sexton, placed second in the state.
