BCS students are building a solid foundation for future success at the Land of the Sky Masonry Contest. 

The event, held earlier this month at the Smoky Mountain Event Center in Haywood County, is produced by the North Carolina Masonry Contractors Association. It gives high school students from across the region a chance to showcase their skills and learn from others. 

Mikhail holds his $100 prize in his hand as he stands next to Mr. Davis behind a wall he built for the competition.Two competitors from Robbie Davis’ classes at A.C. Reynolds High School rose to the occasion - one brick at a time.  Gabriel, a student in Masonry II, finished in the top 5. Mikhail finished as the champion in the Masonry I division, earning a chance to compete at the state level. Each student was awarded a bag of new tools and a $100 cash prize.
