North Platte Community College hosted its annual Inter-High Scholastic Competition and TECH-Knowledge & Skills Discovery Day on Wednesday at the North and South Campuses of the college.
Students from 33 area schools took approximately 860 tests during the Inter-High competition and more than 180 students from 26 high schools participated in the TECH Skills competition.
The students who participated were vying for 40 Mid-Plains Community College Area scholarships of $500 each. The scholarship dollars were awarded to the high schools and they, in turn, will select the recipient.
Awards were presented to the top three individual finishers in all categories. They also received a certificate for three credit hours of free tuition to be used at MPCC.
The schools also competed in divisions, with individual schools receiving three points for first place finishers, two points for second place, and one point for third.
