Cooking, building, brainstorming, filming, testing, and much more are being done in the Harvard SkillsUSA chapter as they look to be even more successful going into their third year of competitions at the state conference on April 9 and 10 at the Grand Island Fairgrounds.
For the first two years of SkillsUSA, Harvard’s main goal was to learn what it was to learn the ropes and build a strong chapter. Between both years, Harvard earned six medals at the state conference and sent one student, Raeha Jensen (12), to the national conference. Thirty-four students are now part of SkillsUSA, with 20 first-year students.
“I am excited to see such a large number of our student population be involved in SkillsUSA,” SkillsUSA coach Blake Barwick said. “With such a large number of students and contests being worked on, I am looking forward to seeing some spark and success.”
