✨ Alumni Connection: Leah Kimball, Cosmetology, Class of 2013 ✨
Leah Kimball, a 2013 Cosmetology graduate from Amesbury, turned her passion into a thriving business.

““Whittier gave me the head start I needed to accomplish my goal of owning a thriving salon at a young age. It also gave me the motivation to become an educator and share my knowledge with other salon owners and stylists around the country.”

Making a difference, one diaper at a time.
Students in Whittier Tech’s SkillsUSA chapter recently led a monthlong community diaper drive to support local families in need. In partnership with Saint Vincent de Paul, students organized, promoted, and collected donations through a schoolwide effort that showcased both leadership and compassion.
As part of the project, students also visited Saint James Parish to see firsthand how donations are distributed to families. Through this experience, they gained a deeper understanding of the real impact their work has on the community.
“This project showed me how something as simple as collecting diapers can make a real difference for families,” shared senior Sofia Deiuls. “Seeing the impact firsthand was incredibly rewarding.”
Through service, teamwork, and meaningful community connections, these students exemplify what it means to be part of the Workforce of Tomorrow.
