There were lots of smiles, laughter, happy tears, and applause last week as families, friends, and faculty came together to celebrate this year’s Next STEP Transition Program completers. The special ceremony honored an amazing group of young adults whose hard work, growth, and accomplishments have prepared them for exciting new opportunities ahead. Throughout their time in the program, students worked hard to build employment and other skills while creating post-secondary plans that aligned with their individual interests, strengths, and goals.
We are incredibly proud of each student and look forward to seeing all they achieve in the future. Congratulations!
St. Clair County TEC students Michael Carrier and Blake Duvall, both in Metal Machining Technology, and Rori Cowhy, in Welding, recently traveled to Atlanta to compete at the 2026 National SkillsUSA Leadership & Skills Conference. While they didn't bring home medals, competing at the national level is a huge achievement, and we couldn't be more proud of them! We also want to congratulate TEC alumnus Lucas Bauman, a former Metal Machining student who now attends SC4. Competing in the postsecondary division, Lucas earned an impressive ninth-place finish in the nation. #WeAreSCCRESA
