The MAEO STARS College & Career Competition
After a two year hiatus, the event finally took place in person on Thursday, May 12th at Delta College in Bay City. Throughout the day, students from six different schools competed in both individual and team contests including school banners and art works created before the event. The event culminated in a delicious banquet where students from all six schools won first, second, or third place awards. Fun was had by all! Testimonials and pictures from this year's event are coming soon!
