Whittier Tech Holds Pep Rally to Celebrate SkillsUSA District Medalists

This afternoon, Whittier Tech held a Pep Rally celebrating our 37 SkillsUSA District Medalists at last week’s District Competition. The Pep Rally was held outside at the Wildcat Stadium. During the Pep Rally, 22 Outstanding Shop students were also announced.

The ceremony began when Medical Assisting Senior Natalie Vienneau (Groveland) performed the National Anthem. Medical Assisting Senior Jaidyn Craig (Haverhill), who also serves as the SkillsUSA Massachusetts President led the ceremony and introduced the speakers. Athletic Director Kevin Bradley served as the emcee. Vocational Coordinators Amanda Crosby and Paul Moskevitz presented the Outstanding Shop Students with their certificates. WT SkillsUSA Advisor Jane Mosketvitz then presented the SkillsUSA District Medals. A special thank you to Rich Porcelli, who provided the music throughout the rally.

Congratulations to all!
