It is our pleasure to recognize Victor Earle III (grade 12, Smethport Area School District) as our student of the week for the computer systems networking and telecommunications program. Victor has consistently demonstrated the technical aptitude and professional “soft skills” essential for success in the IT industry.
He stands out for his exceptional task completion, meticulously navigating our CompTIA A+ curriculum from foundational safety procedures to complex networking protocols. Beyond his own technical success, Victor embodies the spirit of collaboration by frequently helping his classmates during intensive lab challenges, such as motherboard component installation and cable fabrication.
