On this day, in 1965, VICA was born. After many years of change, VICA eventually became SkillsUSA in 2004. Today we celebrate the 59th birthday of the organization. 

The 2024 SkillsUSA Geary Awards and Recognition Ceremony took place on Monday, April 2nd, 2024 @ 6:00 PM in the Gym at Geary High School, 300 South Blaine Avenue, Geary, OK 73040. The banquet was sponsored by the SkillsUSA Geary Alumni & Friends Association. Officers, past and present members, as well as business and industry partners, parents, school administration, and city of Geary officials were in attendance. Awards were given recognizing the outstanding students in the chapter and the outstanding community members and partners in the area. Refreshments were served to everyone throughout the banquet.

For the last 3 years, Primos Café of Geary has put on a community Christmas dinner for the impoverished citizens in the area. Owner Lupe Hernandez believes that everyone should be able to have a hot meal on Christmas. This year, SkillsUSA Geary had the honors of serving food onto the plates that were handed out. They formed an assembly line and got to work. These meals were served in house, delivered to surrounding communities and even delivered to a homeless shelter in Oklahoma City. Over 600 plates were served, 300 of which were made by the SkillsUSA Geary Chapter Officers. The officers also helped pack over 100 candy sacks to be handed out to kids when they get their toy and meal. Big thanks to Lupe Hernandez for allowing us to help out!
