CCHS Auto Students Continue High Performing Reputation

Universal Technical Institute High School Top Tech Challenge

Submitted by David Gonzales, Auto Instructor at Churchill County High School -- For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the event, the Top Tech Challenge is an opportunity for students from high schools from Northern Nevada, Oregon, and Northern California to compete in either Diesel or Automotive Technology competitions. Participating students may win Universal Technical Institute scholarships as well as prizes for their classrooms. Each school may send one team for Automotive and one team for Diesel. Teams are made up of two students – juniors or seniors. This competition tested the students’ knowledge obtained during their automotive high school program. They competed in a hands-on and written tests in
  • Parts identification
  • Scan tool diagnostics
  • Brake diagnostics
  • Electrical systems
Dawson Lapp (senior) and Caleb Haynes (junior) represented Churchill County High School. Out of 22 teams they placed 7th earning a place to have them both receive a 1000$ scholarship to UTI. These students worked hard after school to help them get ready for this competition, even at home studying on the subjects covered for the competition. Being a new teacher and having no idea how this competition works, I am very proud of them in the experience and looking forward to more experiences like this in the future.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
