The Rolling Plains Technical School continues its busy fall semester. An Oxy-Acetylene Speed Cutting Competition was held on Sept. 8, 2023. According to RPTS Director Monty Moeller, the event was sponsored by Jason and Tamara Smart and family from proceeds from the Jaden Smart Memorial Fun Run in memory of Jaden Smart. The fun run was held at Rochester a few weeks ago. Pictured is Jason Smart presenting the first place winner, Niamiah Silvas of Haskell High School, a Weldcote welding helmet and gift card from KP’s Welding Supply. Additional placings were—2nd place-Trevor Henry of Haskell High School who received an RPTS T-shirt and 3rd place-Ryan Shaver of Knox City High School. The RPTS program appreciates the support of this family in honor of their son, Jaden.
