Sanford Regional Technical Center made its presence known at the Maine State House Wednesday, February 5th, in the Hall of Flags.
The delegation included SRTC Director Matt Petermann, Extended Learning Opportunities Coordinator Sally Quarles, and two SkillsUSA student officers: State Officer Candidate Brian Graffam, a senior from Massabesic High School, and Officer Riley Smith, a junior from Marshwood High School.
The group's visit to Augusta's Hall of Flags provided a valuable opportunity to showcase SRTC's commitment to technical education excellence. During their time at the Capitol, the representatives held productive discussions with senior officials from the Department of Education's career and technical education division, focusing on current initiatives and future developments in the field.
The delegation also met with several legislators representing the Sanford region, allowing them to share firsthand accounts of SRTC's impact on student success and workforce development.
A highlight of the visit was a meeting with Governor Janet Mills, demonstrating the state's highest level of support for career and technical education programs.
