London Gibson has won the 2011 NRMCA National High School Essay Contest. Gibson’s essay was submitted as the state winner by the Oklahoma Ready Mixed Concrete Association. Miss Gibson told concrete’s story of quality, durability and environmental superiority through interviews of people with different perspectives on the concrete industry – a road foreman on an interstate construction crew, an executive of a nationally-known trucking company and a supervisor at a limestone quarry.

Her essay earned top honors over other excellent entries from Tennessee, Indiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, Washington and Arizona. Miss Gibson has been invited to accept her $2,000 scholarship at the NRMCA Annual Convention this March in Savannah, GA. Her essay will appear in a future edition of NRMCA’s Concrete InFocus magazine.
