Open House at Eastern Center for Arts and Technology (EASTERN) in Willow Grove is Sunday, March 1, 2026, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. This is a wonderful opportunity to see how EASTERN can give students a competitive edge in college or in a specialized career program. At the Open House, parents and students will learn how EASTERN students can earn college credits while still in high school through dual enrollment and articulation agreements. The Open House also offers an opportunity to hear from EASTERN instructors on the hands-on learning environment that complements students’ high school academics. Many special activities in EASTERN’s career programs are scheduled, and college and military representatives will be on site.

On Wednesday, February 11, ASHS AP and Spanish 5 students, chaperoned by Señora Mirabal and Señora Colon, visited the special exhibit called “Dreamworld: Surrealism at 100" at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Students discussed many of the featured works from artists like Salvador Dali and Joan Miró. Our scholars impressed the docent with their comments about the pieces and also participated in drawing activities related to the works. The day ended with lunch at the Reading Terminal Market, where students were able to taste both local and international cuisine. It was a fun-filled day in Philadelphia!

This past Friday, February 6, ASHS Chorale students visited the 8th grade chorus at AMS to perform for them and encourage them to continue their vocal music studies at the Senior High. The Chorale students serenaded the 8th graders, answered questions, and talked about their personal musical experiences at the high school. The 8th graders were able to see and hear firsthand what opportunities await them at the Senior High and ask questions of the singers and guidance counselors. It was a great collaboration, and we hope these singers choose to continue making music during their next 4 years! We are #AbingtonProud #ASHSProud #FirstintheArts
