View Comments
Throughout the month of April, Somerset County Vocational & Technical High School (SCVTHS) students competed against other career and technical education students from around the state, in both virtual and in-person events, as part of the 2021 New Jersey SkillsUSA Championships. Out of the 73 students from SCVTHS who competed, 54 received medals including 25 gold. The gold medal winners are now eligible to test their skills at the upcoming, virtually held, SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference (NLSC) in June. During the National Leadership and Skills Conference (NLSC), more than 6,000 career and technical education students will showcase their talents and compete in 100 different trade, technical and leadership fields. All contests are run with the help of industry, trade associations, and labor organizations. The test competencies are set by industry.

EDISON, NJ The Wardlaw+Hartridge School in Edison hosted an on-campus retreat as part of its Peer Leadership Program in mid-November. Traditionally, this retreat takes place on the two days leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday with the senior peer leaders and the entire freshman class traveling up to northwest New Jersey for an overnight trip at Fairview Lakes YMCA Camp. As with many of our plans this year, we had to reimagine what the retreat experience would look like with some of our ninth graders and peer leaders attending via Zoom.
“While we can’t discuss what was said (because what happens at PL stays at PL) I can share that I saw lots of smiles throughout the day! The peer leaders put a lot of thoughtful planning into making our reimagined retreat just as special as the one they experienced as ninth graders,” said Miss Tanda Tucker, faculty advisor to the Peer Leadership program.
