Skills USA

On Thursday and Friday, April 14 & 15, vocational students from YORK HIGH SCHOOL attended Skills USA contests in Hastings, Nebraska.

Out of the 21 students attending, five of them received medals. They were as follows: Chandler Brayton ranked 3rd in Medical Math, Callie Rathjen ranked 3rd in Job Interviewing, Rebeka Spader ranked 2nd in Extemporaneous Speaking, Erin Blum ranked 1st in Prepared Speaking, and Kelsey Kranz received 1st in Nurse Assisting.

Kelsey Kranz's 1st place qualified her to go to the National Competition to be held in Kansas City, MO, in June.

Skills USA is a national nonprofit organization serving teachers and students preparing for careers in trade, technical and skilled service occupations, including health occupations. It was formerly known as VICA (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America).

Sponsors of the York Chapter of Skills USA are Mr. Cal Williams and Mr. Jason Hirschfeld.
