  • Serving Career and Technical Education Students in Pennsylvania
    Career and Technical Student Organizations Serving Career and Technical Education Students in Pennsylvania 1 Dear CTSO Leaders, As the leader of a statewide trade association dedicated to the growth and development of the technology industry in Pennsylvania, I am keenly aware of the need for a highly-skilled, well-trained, and motivated workforce. At the Technology Council of Pennsylvania, we are strong advocates for advancements in and the promotion of S.T.E.M. education, as well as career and technical training, in order to prepare our young people to succeed in the 21st Century, global economy. That is why we support the work of Pennsylvania’s Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) and the critical role they play in today’s education community. For nearly 70 years, CTSOs have been able to extend teaching and learning through a variety of targeted programs, public-private partnerships and leadership development initiatives that produce technically advanced, employable students to meet the needs of this country’s diverse employer base. Today, the work of CTSOs has never been more valuable as our economy demands workers with a strong understanding of science, technology, engineering and math concepts as well as hands-on technical expertise. The co-curricular approach of CTSOs uniquely positions these organizations to enhance student skill sets and better prepare them to excel in their chosen careers. In order for Pennsylvania and the United States to not only compete, but succeed on a global stage, we need to ensure that the very technology and innovation companies that are driving this global economy have the availability of a well-qualified workforce.

  • Mrs. Barbara Hall Fallon 1987
    MRS. BARBARA HALL FALLON 1987 Before Barb Hall made a name for herself as an All-American on the NCAA Division II Bloomsburg Huskies’ powerhouse basketball team, she blistered competition throughout the Central Susquehanna Valley as a three-sport standout at Warrior Run. When you talk about some of the athletic greats that have come through the area, Barb’s name always comes up, whether you are discussing male or female athletics. Today, Barbara Hall Fallon becomes a member of the inaugural class of the Warrior Run School District Hall of Fame. A member of the Class of 1987, Barb earned local, regional and state recognition as a member of the Defender field hockey, basketball and track and field squads. It was on the hardwood, however, that Barb stood head and shoulders above the competition. At 6- feet, 2-inches, Barb utilized her size and skillful shooting and her touch with the pass to establish herself during her four years in Turbotville as one of the best to ever wear the Defender uniform. Barb shattered the girls all-time scoring mark and surpassed 1,000 career points during her senior campaign. Barb achieved the milestone with her fourth point at Warrior Run’s Middle School gym with 1:33 left in the first quarter of a game the Defenders eventually won over Shikellamy. “She’s been very instrumental to establishing our program,” said then-coach Bill Higgins, who earned his 199th career victory that night. “She’s a very unselfish girl.
