The competition brought together the top CTE students from across the state to showcase their skills and compete in a variety of events.
Recognized for their strong leadership skills, two students were elected to governing roles for SkillsUSA for the upcoming year. Angelina Vargas (Florida UFSD) has been elected as Treasurer, and Kayla Flores (Warwick Valley CSD), has been elected as the NYS Officer at Large.
During the day long competition, Orange-Ulster BOCES had four students earn top honors in their fields:
