Skills USA Competition is Underway

Skills USA Competition is Underway

Thursday and Friday, 3/16 & 17, students from the Information Technology, Graphic Communications, Health Occupations, Dental Assisting, Construction, Automotive, and Forensic Science programs went out to compete in statewide Skills USA events. Thanks to countless hours of training from our expert instructors, our students were ready and displayed their career skills in a confident and professional manner. We are sure they did great, but will find out their exact placement at the Awards Ceremony at Veterans Memorial Auditorium in April.


Skills USA competitions are a big endeavor at EPHS Career and Tech. This year we have over 70 students competing is over 20 different events at 8 different locations on 4 dates. The planning and execution requires a total team effort with coordination of practice, registration, permission slips, transportation, chaperons, teachers to cover classes of the chaperones who are out, and more. We are so very grateful to Mrs. Piros and Mr. Bornhoeft who lead this effort as our Skills USA Co-Advisors, but it can only happen when each and every one of our instructors pitches in.


We have two more competition dates on 3/24 & 3/31, and then Awards Night on April 4th.

Applications for the '23-24 School Year are Closed

On March 15th the application window for next school year closed, and our admission team has begun to review applications.


In total, 457 applications were submitted for a chance to be admitted to one of about 280 available seats in our Career and Technical Programs. We are both thrilled and humbled that so many students from East Providence and surrounding communities recognize our track record of success and the tremendous opportunities available to them in one of our Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) approved programs.


Now we begin the difficult work of deciding which of the applicants will be awarded a spot. Much like the college admissions process, we do this primarily by reviewing Cover Letters written by the applicants. Our goal is to identify the applicants who display the greatest passion for the subject-area to which they are applying so that we get students who will follow through on their 4 year commitment and turn it into a meaningful career.
