While attending the Missouri SkillsUSA State Leadership & Skills Conference, students from the North Central Career Center SkillsUSA Chapter took time to explore one of Missouri’s most historic landmarks!

During their visit to Missouri State Capitol, students toured the first four floors, learning about the building’s rich history, stunning architecture, and meaningful artwork. A highlight of the tour was viewing A Social History of the State of Missouri, the famous mural by Thomas Hart Benton located in the House lounge.

The group also wrapped up their visit at the Missouri State Museum, where they explored the natural and cultural history of the Show-Me State.

Students organized a cleaning and hygiene supply drive to support the Division of Family Services, showing what it truly means to lead with service.

A special shoutout to our Welding program students—many of whom are SkillsUSA members—who took their project work a step further by helping provide donations to fill an entire box of much-needed supplies. These items were delivered by SkillsUSA advisor Cas Derks to the Harrison County DFS office.

We are proud of our students for using their talents to serve others and make a positive impact right here at home! 👏
