Irving ISD students celebrated a strong performance at the SkillsUSA district competition in Waco last month. In all, 56 students from Singley Academy, MacArthur High School, Irving High School and Ratteree Career Development Center earned huge bragging rights. 

SkillsUSA is a career and technical education student organization (CTSO) that focuses on preparing students for careers in arts/video, graphic design, computers, culinary arts, law, STEM, health science and more.
