Pipersville’s Overholt receives Pennsylvania Builders Association award

The Pennsylvania Builders Association’s (PBA) Endorsed Trade Program recently awarded the Student Recognition Award to Upper Bucks County Technical School student Joshua Overholt.

Overholt is enrolled in the school’s Construction Technology Program. He was nominated by his instructor Kevin Crawford.

The Student Recognition Award is a scholarship presented to students across Pennsylvania in recognition of their embodiment in the trade. Students who carry a minimum GPA, are members of a student chapter of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), and from schools enrolled in the Endorsed Trade Program, are eligible. The award is sponsored by the PBA and the Home Builders Association of Bucks and Montgomery Counties.

Joshua Overholt, of Pipersville, is the son of Amy Overholt. He plans to continue working in the construction industry with his uncle following graduation.

“Josh is a highly intelligent, hard-working young man,” said Crawford. “He has completed all tasks in the construction trades program and is now a member of the local home builders association.”

The Endorsed Trade Program was developed by the PBA, in collaboration with educators, local builder associations, and others to provide technical school graduates with more credibility in the job market – as well as provide builders with a highly skilled workforce.
