It was a remarkable day filled with celebration, learning, and inspiration as our students showcased their skills and dedication at the Technical School Education Day held at the Pennsylvania Capital.
HOSA, SkillsUSA, and Philanthropy Today took center stage, with our students actively engaging in activities that demonstrated their unwavering commitment to giving back to the community.

The essence of Technical School Education Day lies in fostering meaningful connections between students and influential stakeholders, particularly members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly. Students were encouraged to take the initiative by reaching out to their state representatives and senators to arrange meetings to discuss their exhibits, thereby amplifying their voices on pertinent issues.

Our Commercial Art & Advertising Design students showcased their creativity and entrepreneurial spirit with a successful fundraiser! They sold a variety of handmade jewelry, buttons, and stickers. Way to go, artists!

Thank you to the Philadelphia Police Aviation Unit for making a special visit to our campus. Our students had the incredible opportunity to learn firsthand about the vital role aviation plays in law enforcement. The enthusiasm and engagement from our students were through the roof, making it a truly memorable experience. Your efforts in educating and inspiring the next generation are greatly appreciated!

MBIT celebrated the success of their Multimedia technology students at the Greenville Youth Festival, a prestigious event recognizing young filmmakers. Kaiya Crowley from Central Bucks West won first place for best documentary, while Connor Kozlowski, William Tantum, and Brian Daly from Central Bucks South took the prize for Funniest Film.

The students are mentored by Mr. James Davey, an Emmy Award-winning teacher who has been with Middle Bucks since January 2015. Mr. Davey, who teaches students from multiple school districts, commended his students for pushing the boundaries of storytelling, highlighting Kaiya’s artful documentary and the innovative approach of the funniest film team.

Students from our Welding and Collision Technology programs have teamed up for a unique and impactful project that combines their skills and creativity. Together, they've crafted stunning silhouettes that are now enhancing the Doylestown Township Bike Hike trails and overpasses.

Using advanced techniques such as plasma cutting, grinding, sanding, and filing, our students have transformed raw materials into beautiful works of art that reflect the spirit of our community. These silhouettes are not just decorations; they are a testament to the hard work, precision, and collaboration of our talented students.

Keep an eye out for these masterpieces as you explore the trails and overpasses around Doylestown. Each piece is a showcase of what our students can achieve and a hint of the potential future projects they will embark on. We are incredibly proud of their achievements and the beautiful contributions they've made to our local landscapes.
