Congratulations to Top Notch Trowel Competitors from AB Miller High School, Boys Republic, Ontario High School, and Upland High School. Nearly 400 students at these schools learned masonry skills in class this year. Top teams competed against the clock in a timed skills challenge in 4 divisions. The overall high-point school Ontario HS, took home the prestigious perpetual trophy presented by Jim Broncatello himself. Boys Republic hosted the BBQ and served their own farm raised Angus beef hamburgers. AB Miller High School hosted the event in Fontana. We hope to see you there next May – you’re invited to come recruit new employees who are graduating high school with trade skills and seeking jobs!
