For the second year in a row, I left this event extremely impressed with both the initiative of students who attended and the involvement of their families and community. The future of our country rests in the hands of its youth, but it is the responsibility of all to provide supportive encouragement of their pursuits benefitting the greater good. #SkilledTrades #HollyHighSchool #MDTS #Apprenticeships #TIRAP #CommunicationsInfrastructre #FosteringFutureLeaders
