LCCTC SkillsUSA Success at State Championships

When you think of Hershey, you might think of your favorite sweet treat, but when students from the Lawrence County Career and Technical Center think of Hershey ~ it’s so much more. When LCCTC students hear “Hershey”, they think of SkillsUSA State Championships. 

This year, LCCTC is proud to announce that ten students brought home a medal!
