The Clearfield County Career and Technology Center SkillsUSA chapter recently competed against 11 other Career and Technology Centers at the SkillsUSA PA District 7 Competition, hosted at the Blair County Convention Center, and our students rose to the challenge in outstanding fashion.
Our CCCTC competitors made us incredibly proud, bringing home an impressive 22 medals: 4 Gold, 10 Silver, and 8 Bronze. Gold medal honors were earned in Cosmetology Under 500 (Aliva Knepp, Curwensville), Cybersecurity (team of Elliott Swales, Clearfield, and Ella Krause, Moshannon Valley), and HVAC/R (Brady Kay, Moshannon Valley), showcasing the exceptional skill, dedication, and professionalism of our students.
Because of their hard work and determination, 12 students will advance to represent CCCTC this April at the SkillsUSA Pennsylvania State Conference. We are beyond proud of their accomplishments and excited to see them continue to excel on the state stage.
