Capital Area Technical Center

We could not be more proud of our CATC students who represented Maine at the National Skills & Leadership Conference in Atlanta last week!

These students demonstrated professionalism, determination, teamwork, and pride while competing against some of the very best students from across the nation. Their dedication to performing at the highest level on the national stage showed just how seriously they embraced the challenge of competition.

The countless hours spent practicing, preparing, and refining their skills is not something many high school students are willing to commit to, but our students rose to the occasion with incredible work ethic and determination.

Throughout the week, they represented Capital Area Technical Center and the State of Maine with excellence, professionalism, and pride both in and out of competition.

These students are the future of Maine’s workforce, and we are incredibly lucky to call them CATC students. Congratulations on an amazing week at Nationals, we are proud of each and every one of you!

A huge THANK YOU to the incredible business partners and sponsors who supported our 8 Capital Area Technical Center students during their trip to the National Skills & Leadership Conference in Atlanta last week!

Because of your generosity, our students were able to experience so much more than the competition itself. They explored amazing attractions like the World of Coca-Cola, visited the unforgettable Georgia Aquarium, attended an exciting Atlanta Braves game, and enjoyed dining at some of Atlanta’s iconic restaurants and destinations.

These experiences helped create lifelong memories for our students while giving them opportunities to bond, grow, and represent CATC and Maine on a national stage.

Our sponsors truly had our backs every step of the way, and we could not be more grateful for the support, encouragement, and investment in our students’ success.

We encourage our community to support the businesses that support our students. Their generosity helps provide opportunities that go far beyond the classroom and makes a lasting impact on the future workforce of Maine.
