Schuylkill Technology Center Students Earn State Honors at SkillsUSA Conference


Students representing the Schuylkill Technology Center (STC) turned in strong performances at the statewide level, earning recognition during the 58th Annual SkillsUSA Pennsylvania State Leadership and Skill Conference held at the Hershey Lodge.
Members and advisors from both the STC North and South campuses competed in a variety of technical and leadership events alongside students from across Pennsylvania.

Two Schuylkill County students placed in their respective competitions:

  • Gillian Kavanaugh, a Schuylkill Haven student studying Computer Information Systems, also secured a third-place finish in her competition.
The annual conference brings together top career and technical education students to showcase their abilities in real-world skill-based contests, ranging from construction trades to information technology.
