Jefferson High Superintendent Honored at Conference
SkillsUSA is a partnership of students, teachers and industry working together to ensure American has a skilled workforce. It provides educational programs, events and competitions that support career and technical education in the nation's classrooms. From April 4-6, Montana SkillsUSA held its 46th Skills and Leadership Conference in Havre.
Jefferson High School's Superintendent Tim Norbeck received the award for being selected Montana Skills USA Administrator of the Year. He was selected from among the administrators of the 36 chapters present at the conference. Norbeck was nominated by the JHS chapter members, and supported by advisors statewide. Jefferson High School also won four medals in the competitions, with one student headed to Louisville, Ky., for the nationals.
Since Norbeck arrived as superintendent at Jefferson High School, he has enabled dual credit CTE classes in architectural drafting, welding 2 and welding 3 in concert with Helena College. Later this school year, he will be exploring the possibility of instituting dual credit classes in residential construction in conjunction with Highlands College in Butte.
