Boeing STEM Signing Day Recipients from LDHS

May 4, 2022

Laurens Raiders Wesley Veal and Emma Clough have been selected to attend STEM Signing Day presented by Boeing. Only 2 students are selected from our Laurens County every year so this is a significant honor for these students.

STEM Signing Day celebrates high school seniors who choose to pursue STEM-related careers at technical programs, two-and four-year colleges, and universities. The event is the STEM answer to the question: What if students committed to STEM had the same sort of fanfare as student-athletes?

Veal and Clough will be traveling to Charleston, SC on May 20th to celebrate this recognition with students from across the state.

Wesley Veal is a triple Career and Technology Education completer in the Welding, Automotive Technology, and Pre-Engineering Project Lead the Way programs.  He plans to pursue a career in Diesel Mechanics after completing his education at Greenville Technical College.   His STEM instructors played a vital role in helping him choose his career path, just as Emma’s did.

Emma Clough is also a triple Career and Technology Education completer in the Health Science, Biomedical Sciences Project Lead the Way, and Pre-Engineering Project Lead the Way programs.  Emma plans to attend Charleston Southern and pursue a career in Biochemistry to do research.
