SkillsUSA Regionals 2025
On Tuesday, March 18th, LIHSA students attended SkillsUSA Regional Competition at Suffolk Community College to compete in events to showcase and celebrate their skills and talents. Students in 3D Animation, Audio, Film, and Visual Arts attended the trip and competed in everything from Advertising Design to Extemporaneous Speaking. All the student competitors enjoyed lunch and a formal awards ceremony at Crest Hollow Country Club after the events concluded.
We are so proud of all our students that participated and placed in their respective events. We look forward to SkillsUSA State Competition in Syracuse, New York next month!
