WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

SkillsUSA Masonry CompetitorsGot skills? SkillsUSA California 49th Annual State Competition? Yes! That’s where high school masonry students competed to be the best in state. RCP Block & Brick, McNear Brick, and EZ Mix supplied and delivered all materials for the challenge. It was a beastly 2-day project to build. These competitors got it done with 100% completion and 100% correct design. The winner is from Warren High School in Downey Unified School District. Congratulations! Thanks to MITA Apprentices volunteered their help.
