Hear From Our Graduates

“Attending South Hills was a great experience that not only provided me with all the necessary skills required for my career but life long friendships. I enjoyed building relationships and the smaller class sizes which allowed me to focus and lead to my success. South Hills prepared me with the knowledge and skills I would need while also building my confidence.

I started my career at the Huntingdon County Chamber of Commerce before the class of 2013 graduation was held because of the education and support I received while attending South Hills. I spent nine years with the Chamber starting as the office manager and shortly after taking on additional responsibilities as the Program Director. In 2022, I took the Executive Director position for the Huntingdon County United Way. In 2023, the opportunity to return to the Chamber as the President/CEO was given to me and I happily accepted.

If it wasn’t for South Hills, I wouldn’t be where I am in my career.”

MacKenzie Locke

“The two years of attending South Hills was such a great experience, meeting wonderful people and gaining some great friendships. I did my internship with Human Resources at Centre County Government that lead me to a full-time position at the County Courthouse for almost 8 years. I finally was able to get my foot into the door with Penn State University, at the Law School for two years starting and learning during COVID was difficult but such a blessing that lead me to my current position at Penn State Human Resources. I have a career that I love and never thought, me, the high school student would be where and who I am today if it wasn’t for my first step at South Hills School of Business and Techonology.”
