Texas High School Welding Series Competition

The North Texas Section is assisting with the Texas High School Welding Series Competition (TXHSWS) this year. There will be 3 of these events between now and the end of the school year in 2022. The first event is scheduled for October 23rd at Alvarado High School (see the TXHSWS website at https://sites.google.com/view/txhsws/txhsws for details).

We’re asking for volunteers to assist with the competition, we need CWI’s to provide visual inspections, volunteers to monitor booths and keep time on the competitors and various other duties. If you would like to volunteer for a few hours to help or perhaps your company would like to set up a job fair booth at the event, please contact us at [email protected]. We’re also in need of donations of prizes and items that can be awarded to the winners. We need donations for the following:

  1. Door prizes for food drive (food donations will be sent to various food banks and food pantries)
