SkillsUSA

To develop leadership abilities through participation in educational, vocational, civic, recreational, and social activities.
To foster a deep respect for the DIGNITY OF WORK.
To assist students in establishing realistic vocational goals.
To help students attain a purposeful life.
To create enthusiasm for learning.
To promote high standards in trade ethics, workmanship, scholarship, and safety.
To create among students, faculty members, patrons of the school, and persons in business and labor a sincere interest and esteem for trade, industrial, technical, and health education.
To develop patriotism through a knowledge of our Nation’s heritage and the practice of DEMOCRACY.
