🇺🇸SkillsUSA in Action at the Roundhouse!🇺🇸

What an incredible experience taking our SkillsUSA chapter officers and members to the State Capitol for CTSO Day at the Roundhouse! This trip was all about empowering students to use their voice and learn how to advocate for themselves, their programs, and Career & Technical Education.

Students had the opportunity to share dinner and meaningful conversation with Representative Randy Pettigrew and Mrs. Shannon Pettigrew, then spent the day at the Roundhouse meeting with local and state representatives and senators, building confidence and learning how policy connects directly to their futures. 🏛️

The leadership skills didn’t stop there. Our students jumped right into action—working through logistics for our State Leadership and Skills Conference, planning ahead for Nationals, and finalizing events and activities for SkillsUSA Week happening right now. 💪

These students are living the SkillsUSA mission every step of the way—developing leadership, teamwork, communication, and advocacy skills that will serve them far beyond the classroom. We are incredibly proud of their energy, professionalism, and drive to make an impact.
