More than just an ‘A’ school, Inlet students are SkillsUSA-mazing
CANES GOT SKILLS: Project Leaders (L-R) Terence Graham, Jenny (Dieumitha) Ferdelus, Nondiana Emmanuel and Rakim Williams, demonstrating again why Inlet Grove is an ‘A’ school, produced an original song and video that is among the top five in the nation, and still in the running for the $25,000 top prize, in the SkillsUSA Lowe’s Social Media Competition.
This just in: Inlet Grove is one of just five schools in the United States – and the only school in Florida – to be selected as a finalist in the SkillsUSA Lowe’s Social Media Competition.
Demonstrating again why Inlet Grove is an “A” school, the students wrote an original song and created an original video explaining their plans to create an on-campus art and garden space, said Diane Jacques, the project coordinator.
The school can potentially win a $25,000 prize, she added, or one of two $10,000 awards.
“SkillsUSA is a prestigious, nationally recognized organization, and our national standing gives our kids the competitive edge,” she said.
The next round of the competition will take place in February. At that time Inlet will be in the running to win one of the three prizes. Click on the Lowe’s link for the full article. The announcement also appears on the Inlet Grove Hurricanes’ Facebook page.
“Virtually all of our Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs took part,” said Ms. Jacques, as indicated by the following list she provided.
She encouraged everyone to congratulate and wish the students luck – and stay tuned for the winning video.

The kids brought their all…working with me many afternoons after school and over many weekends. Numerous Florida schools entered, but our kids’ originality, hard work and raw talent shined the brightest. Go Inlet Grove!
