By Charles Millen — Once again, Leominster High School has made history when it comes to SkillsUSA. Brittany Borowski, a junior at LHS, has been elected as a state officer for the SkillsUSA  organization, which allows kids in shops to compete for   scholarships all across the nation.

As a state officer, Brittany will represent 30,000 kids all across Massachusetts. In addition to this, she will be responsible for co-hosting many of the state SkillsUSA events next year.

This month she will be heading down to Louisville, Kentucky for Nationals, and she will be heading to Washington D.C.

for training later in the summer.

“It’s really exciting, and nerve racking”, said Brittany. “It   hasn’t quite sunken in yet…It’s cool to see how LHS is a 50/50 school (half shop, half academic) and we’re competing with all these big full tech schools.”

However, Brittany isn’t the first star to come out of Leominster High. Alex Stupak won gold in the nationals some years back, and went on to win Iron Chef. He now owns multiple restaurants in Manhattan. Another notable name is Alysha Bastine, who won silver in Nationals in Basic Health Care, which means she came in second in the whole nation.

Leominster High School may be a small school, but it most definitely produces some of the best students anyone could ever ask for.
