WCPS CTE
This week we had the pleasure of stopping by D.M. Bowman, Inc in Wiliamsport and congratulating their newest apprentice, Joshua Gerber, a Washington County Technical High School senior. Joshua is pictured with his mentor, Troy Raffensberger. Joshua is off to a great start!

With a great mentor like Troy, Joshua is sure to take his skills to the next level!
