Congratulations to Uintah High School student Isabelle Cochran! She earned a perfect score on the 2024 Microsoft Office Specialist U.S. National Championship. The competition tests students’ skills in Microsoft Office Word, Excel and PowerPoint, according to Uintah High business teacher Kay Lynn Holmes. Isabelle’s perfect score put her in 9th place in the state of Utah based on the amount of time it took her to complete the test. Great job, Isabelle!
