District 6 SkillsUSA Competition Held On January 30 And 31st
On January 30 and 31, 2025 representatives from the Seneca Highlands Career and Technical Center traveled to Williamsport, Pennsylvania, to compete in the District 6 SkillsUSA competition at the Pennsylvania College of Technology. The participants were given the opportunity to show how vital career and technical education are to America’s future through their applied learning, presentations, demonstrations, speaking and employability skills.
SkillsUSA is a nonprofit national student organization that serves students enrolled in a career and technical school. Its mission is to empower its members to become world class workers and responsible citizens, and it complements the skills training received at the Seneca Highlands Career and Technical Center. The advisors at the Career and Technical Center are Mrs. Katie Dynda and Mrs. Kim Mooney.
First Place students will attend the state competition for SkillsUSA in Hershey, Pennsylvania. We are so very proud of all the student competitors that attended the District level competition, and perhaps some of our students at the Seneca Highland Career and Technical Center may advance to the national level!
