On Thursday, February 27, 2014, 121 students from Southeastern Regional Vocational Technical High School netted 7 Gold, 16 Silver and 6 Bronze Medals at the Massachusetts SkillsUSA District II Competition at Dimon Regional Technical High School in Fall River. They were part of the nearly 600 competitors from Attleboro, BMC Durfee, Bristol Community College, Bristol-Plymouth, Dighton Rehoboth, Diman and Tri-County.

“The SkillsUSA District Competition is a learning tool to help stimulate and challenge students to learn and strengthen their knowledge in their individual trade area, and hopefully move on to the State level,” said Southeastern’s SkillsUSA advisor Sheila Fox. “SkillsUSA is a great experience for our students. It helps showcase their individual talents, as well as strengthening their work ethics. It builds character and motivates each individual student.
SkillsUSA opens up many opportunities for students to become successful in their future endeavors.”
