CONWAY — March was competition month for career-tech students and the MWV Career and Technical Center Eagles knocked it out of the park this year, bringing home 38 medals across various disciplines that ran the gamut from health to culinary arts to education.
“For a little school up north, we really rocked it statewide,” Virginia Schrader, director of the center, told the Conway School Board at their April 11 meeting. “With 38 medals, there were people around the state asking, ‘Where do these people come from?’”
