SkillsUSA is a career and technical student organization serving more than 395,000 high school students. The organization promotes personal and professional growth and offers students the opportunity to network with industry executives and professionals at the local, regional, state and national levels and to compete in competitions. The organization also promotes giving back to the community, which locally results in collections each year for food pantries, as well as other charitable organizations.
The incoming officers said they look forward to a successful year building the organization and promoting its values.
“I want to build up membership in SkillsUSA because we do a lot of great things,” said Morning session President Corinne LiVecchi.
“I enjoy SkillsUSA because I like being active and involved in school and I enjoy giving back to the community,” said the HERO student.
