*indicates a student qualifying to advance to the SkillsUSA Georgia State Leadership and Skills Conference (SLSC) at the Georgia World Congress Center in February 2025. Only students who are within this event's region are allowed to qualify for state. In some instances, students from schools outside of this region's "home" schools won top honors at this event, thus students placing lower than 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place at this day's event were then eligible to earn qualifying positions.
