More Than 40 Robert H. Gibson Technical School Students Participate in Signing Day Event

Posted on June 9, 2026

More than 40 students from Robert H. Gibson Technical School participated in the SkillsUSA Signing Day.

On May 27, 41 Career and Technical Education (CTE) students from Robert H. Gibson Technical School participated in a SkillsUSA Signing Day. These students signed letters of intent, showing their commitment to pursue skilled career paths after graduation or to continue their education. Each student has either already secured post-graduation employment or has committed to further education, both related to their studies.

L-R: Beth O’Brien, Questar III BOCES SkillsUSA Advisor; Darin Cook, Crisafulli Brothers; Chris DeStafano, Harrison & Burrowes Bridge Constructors, Inc.; Eric Papandrea, Questar III BOCES Principal

Additionally at the event, two local businesses were recognized for their commitment to the skilled trades and for supporting our school and students. Chris DeStafano from Harrison and Burrowes Bridge Constructors, Inc. and Darin Cook from Crisafulli Brothers were both on-site to accept their awards.
Congratulations to our participating seniors, we can’t wait to see how your futures unfold!
