🎆 Closing out the school year also means saying goodbye to some very important people who are ending their careers at the high school. We want to honor our valuable retiring staff members and wish them all the best as they transition to a new routine. 🎉 Congratulations on your retirement! We love you! 🫶

The SCASD Career and Technical Center is proud to recognize two outstanding students from the Early Childhood Education program who represented our school at the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference in Atlanta, Georgia during the first week of June.

Rachel Forney earned an impressive 4th place finish in the national Job Skill Demonstration competition. During the two-part event, Rachel presented on the importance of sensory play in early childhood and demonstrated her extensive knowledge of developmentally appropriate practices and effective teaching strategies. Her presentation engaged the judges and showcased her highly developed sense of professionalism and communication skills.

Riley Silvis attended the conference as a Pennsylvania SkillsUSA State Officer. During the event, she participated in leadership training and professional development sessions that will help her serve SkillsUSA members across Pennsylvania during the upcoming school year. The knowledge and skills she gained will be valuable as she continues her leadership role at future state conferences and events.

We are incredibly proud of Rachel and Riley for their dedication, professionalism, leadership, and commitment to excellence!
