🔥 WELD DONE, YELLOW JACKETS! 🔥
We are incredibly proud to celebrate these Meridian High School students who have successfully completed all requirements to earn the American Welding Society (AWS) D1.1 2F Structural Steel Welding Certification—an industry-recognized credential that opens doors to high-demand careers:
👏 Jesse Scott
👏 Ellie Baker
👏 Dustin Padgett
👏 Thomas Denman
👏 Bradly Perry
We also want to give a special shout-out to Taylor Brown, who has met all certification requirements as well. Due to certification expiration timelines, her official AWS paperwork will be completed during her senior year—but her accomplishment deserves recognition now!
Help us congratulate these hardworking students in the comments below! 🐝💛

Big savers get to be big spenders! Proud of Tannon, who saved 100 jacket bucks to get the Lego set he wanted.
