Avondale teens win big at SkillsUSA

Avondale just scored a national win—two La Joya Community High School students, Zara Soto and Mireille Rescon, brought home the SkillsUSA national championship after presenting their work with Maricopa County’s Teen Court. Imagine the nerves: thousands of students from across the country, and these West Valley girls stood out for their leadership and dedication. Their journey started with a blank wall at school, now covered in banners marking their achievements. This win isn’t just a trophy—it’s a huge moment for Avondale and a reminder of what local teens can accomplish. What do you think this means for our community’s future leaders? #Education #K12 #AvondalePride
