Showcasing skills

USA Olympians aren’t the only ones getting gold! Congratulations to the Seneca Valley Vo-Tech students who placed at this year’s SkillsUSA District 10 Competition, a program offered through the Butler County Area Vocational-Technical School (BCAVTS). Students throughout the region traveled to the New Castle School of Trades to participate in a variety of skills and leadership contests. This year, 10 Seneca Valley students competed!

Gold medals were awarded to the top competitors in each skill category, recognizing their outstanding performance and precision. The following Seneca Valley students will be moving on to compete at the state level: Mara Josephson, Elizabeth Semenenko, Kylee Brennan, Alessandra Johnston, Caroline Panyon, Odessa Quinlan and Gavin Uber
