TES Technology Teacher Joins SkillsUSA Board to Enhance Student Programs

During the recent MSAD52 Board of Directors meeting on March 27, 2025, a significant focus was placed on enhancing student opportunities through fundraising efforts aimed at sending students to national competitions. Board member Rob highlighted the importance of these initiatives, noting that the district is contributing $8,000 to support this program in the upcoming year.

The funding will help facilitate student participation in SkillsUSA, a program that allows students to engage in various technical and vocational skills competitions. The board has taken proactive steps by hiring a technology teacher at the Turner Elementary School (TES), who is also a member of the SkillsUSA board. This teacher is dedicated to planning and implementing the program, ensuring that students have the resources and support they need to succeed.

Rob expressed enthusiasm about the program, emphasizing that it provides a valuable opportunity for students to showcase their skills and creativity. He encouraged community members to get involved and learn more about the initiatives, suggesting that it would be exciting for them to witness the students' achievements firsthand.

The meeting underscored the district's commitment to fostering student engagement and skill development through practical experiences. As the board moves forward with these initiatives, the community can look forward to seeing the positive impact on students' educational journeys and future career paths.
