🎉📷 Big thanks to Abington alum Kacey Hamsher for visiting yesterday and sharing her inspiring journey to becoming a photographer! 📸

Kacey, now a senior at the University of Delaware, spoke with students about her path—starting as a nutrition major before discovering her passion and switching to communications, journalism, and sports management. She’s built an impressive photography portfolio and plans to pursue photography full-time after graduation.

Our students were engaged, asked thoughtful questions, and left truly inspired. 🌟

Thank you, Kacey, for giving back to our community! We are #AbingtonProud #ASHSProud #FirstintheArts @kaceyhamsherphoto

On Friday, the Regional Cuisine classes had the opportunity to meet Chef Max Schindler. He gave a quick presentation on his experiences and background. Sharing his passion for the culinary arts. He encouraged the students to be brave and try new foods. We were lucky enough to also have a live food demonstration. He demonstrated how to roll 3 kinds of sushi rolls and discussed the fundamental skills needed. He shared his knowledge of ingredients and how interchangeable they can be. The students were super grateful to learn this new skill and few had never tried this type of cuisine before. It was a great experience for all. We are #AbingtonProud #ASHSProud #FirstinActivities

On Monday, November 10th, Abington Senior High School students in the Biomedical Pathway attended a Career Chatter event in Mr. Heine’s room, C221, featuring guest speaker Dr. Maria Radu.

During the session, students asked thoughtful questions about her educational journey and professional experiences. Dr. Radu shared insights from her path, which began with earning a medical degree in Romania and continued with a PhD in Microbiology and Immunology at Temple University. With over 20 published papers and experience teaching biology and cancer research courses, she offered valuable advice and encouragement to aspiring scientists.

👏 A huge thank you to Matt Magida for another fantastic visit!

Across four sessions this year, our students have explored an incredible range of topics — from fast fashion to Abington PD records, agriculture in the Netherlands, and today’s deep dive into the data behind the rise of K-pop. Each lesson has opened our students’ eyes to just how wide-ranging, relevant, and exciting data analytics can be. We’re so grateful for the time and energy you’ve invested in bringing these subjects to life!

A special shoutout to Dr. Fecher and Dr. Swift for stopping by to see Matt’s work in action. 🌟
