Thank You to Senator Pittman and Representative Major for Their Continued Support

Lenape Technical School is proud to announce that it has been awarded a highly competitive Pennsylvania Public School Facility Improvement Grant. This grant will provide critical funding to support ongoing efforts to upgrade critical infrastructure projects at the school.  The grant award of $931,875 will be used to replace the windows in the school which are mostly original to the buildings construction in 1965 and addition in 1975.

The school’s successful grant application was made possible by the collaborative efforts of our dedicated staff, community stakeholders, and elected officials who have long supported the mission of Lenape Technical School. Special thanks go to Senator Joe Pittman and Representative Abby Major for their unwavering support and advocacy in helping Lenape Technical School secure this important funding.

“We are thrilled to receive this Public School Improvement Grant, which will allow us to further upgrade our students' educational experience,” said Wesley Kuchta, Administrative Director of Lenape Technical School. “This award reflects the continued efforts to support Career and Technical Education in Armstrong County and the strong partnerships we have with our community and elected officials. We are particularly grateful to Senator Pittman and Representative Major, whose ongoing support has been instrumental in making this achievement possible.”

Senator Pittman, a steadfast advocate for public education and workforce development, expressed his excitement about the grant. “Lenape Technical School is an instrumental part of our community and our region. I’m very proud to support this grant, which builds upon previous investments made at the state level to help increase access to technical educational opportunities. The needs of students are changing, and its critical we work to strengthen specialized training and technical education paths to meet future workforce demands.”

Representative Major echoed these sentiments, highlighting the importance of supporting technical education in Pennsylvania. "“Technical education plays a key role in providing educational opportunities for students,” Major said. “The variety of programs offered at Lenape prepare graduates to enter the workforce. Not every student will follow the same path. Lenape offers alternatives. I am happy to support this project.”

Lenape Technical School looks forward to continuing its mission of providing students with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in today’s rapidly changing job market.  To this, these funds will all continue to improve critical infrastructure needed for the effective operation of the school.
