The Rotary Club of Antioch supports educational programs. Today we donated $500 to SkillsUSA in which local High School students compete to exhibit their knowledge and practical understanding of a variety of Technical Trade professions such as baking, welding, carpentry, and cosmetology. 

 

Fifteen students from District 117 Antioch and Lakes Community High Schools participated in the Illinois State competition this year.  Two students will be going to the National competition for EMS (Emergency Medical Services) in Atlanta this June. 

 

These competitions help build comradery and confidence in the students as they prepare to embark in their careers.
