KTEC Students Win at 2025 SkillsUSA Wisconsin State Conference

Published On: April 9th, 2025

At KTEC Schools of Innovation, we believe in preparing students not only for graduation but for real-world success—and in the first week of April, our students proved just how bright their futures are.

Five of our high school students proudly represented Kenosha at the 52nd Annual SkillsUSA Wisconsin State Leadership and Skills Conference (SLSC), held April 1–2, 2025, at the Alliant Energy Center and Madison Area Technical College in Madison, WI.

Showcasing Talent, Skill, and Dedication

Competing alongside hundreds of students from across the state, Blake Krauter, Nathan Warwick, Aidan Tosch, and Jobany Vazquez-Del Mercado demonstrated the kind of innovation, professionalism, and technical skill that sets KTEC High School apart.

These students took part in the SkillsUSA state competition, a nationally recognized program that highlights the value of career and technical education through real-world, hands-on challenges.
