VACTE was the first school in the Verde Valley and the second school in Yavapai County to receive donations from the SupportMyClub.org group, Weir said.
According to VACTE Construction teacher Travis Black, The SupportMyClub.org group “has given the students items which will help when they present to local groups and at state and national SkillsUSA contest and conferences.”
