We’re celebrating—and representing—Bucky Beaver today on this National Mascot Day. 🦫⚡️

Bucky is beloved by the Trade-Tech community, not just because he’s cute, but because of what he stands for as a symbol of industriousness. Hard work, productivity, and devotion to tasks are what defines a Trade-Tech student and it remains a legacy that our grads take with them. You can take the grad out of Trade-Tech, but you can’t take the Trade-Tech—or Bucky!—out of the grad.

Here, Sign Graphics graduate Itzel shows off her custom Bucky paint before last week’s commencement. 🎓✨
