MHS students are SkillsUSA medal winners

Three Mohonasen High School students walked away from this year’s regional SkillsUSA contest as medal winners against tough competition from other Capital District Career and Technical Education (CTE) students. They are:

• First Place – Danielle DiCaprio – Cosmetology
• Third Place – Katelyn Singleman – Commercial Baking
• Third Place – Michael Tilison – Prepared Speech

SkillsUSA provides CTE students an opportunity to demonstrate their in-depth knowledge of the skilled trades and leadership skills. Leadership contests include public speaking, employment and safety skills. Regional SkillsUSA competition took place March 14 at both Schenectady County Community College (SCCC) and Stratton Air National Guard Base.

First place winners advance to the state SkillsUSA competition in Syracuse in April.

Congratulations and best of luck to these outstanding students!
