The State Conference is truly a time for career and technical education students to shine and show what they are passionate about. In the Action Skills competition Erik Deems and Winter Meadows, both from Beth Center, displayed the skills they have learned in the Protective Services program. Also representing that program was the Crime Scene Investigation team of Kasey Frazee and Bethany Johnston from Beth Center and Christina Marinos from Ringgold. In the Job Skill Demonstration Open Contest Tiffany Piper, from California, demonstrated skills from MVCTC’s newest program, Gas and Oil Service Technician.
The students on the Quiz Bowl team received a silver medal by displaying their knowledge of the SkillsUSA organization and current events. Team members were: Holly Adamson and Niccolle Morris from Beth Center, Mitchell Allen from Bentworth, Raymond Dickerson from Monessen, and Johnnathan Lombardo from Ringgold. Cheyenne Fosbrink, of Charleroi, and Josh Kramer, of Monessen, served as delegates and had the responsibility of voting for next year’s state officer team. As a member of the Courtesy Corps, Mason Householder, of Charleroi, served as an assistant to contest chairpersons and participated in Opening and Closing ceremonies as a greeter.
Kayla Boothe, a California senior, finished her term as State Officer at this conference. As the Western Region Vice President, Kayla represented Mon Valley Career and Technology Center on both the state and national level. Over a 2 year span she worked on the Professional Development Program and at this conference was 1 of 4 students to receive the American Degree; the highest degree a high school student can receive through the Professional Development Program.
Although the school is not sending anyone to Nationals this summer, we are extremely proud of our students and excited for next year’s conference.
