A huge thanks to Dr. Jill C. Meehan, music professor at Temple and Montgomery County Community College, for coming in and talking to our students about her journey to a career in music education at the college level. She taught the students about different careers in the music field and the importance of advocating for oneself. Thank you again!! We are #AbingtonProud #ASHSProud #FirstinActivities

Thank you, Ms. Kayla Nolan, postpartum nurse, for coming to speak to our students. She explained that the most important quality in a nurse is strong critical thinking skills because situations can change very quickly, and nurses need to make smart decisions in the moment. Students were engaged, and we can't wait to welcome back Ms. Nolan next year!

On April 10th, Abington Senior High School welcomed Erin Brosious, director of high school internships at CLA, which is the 8th largest accounting firm in the country. Ms. Brosious told us about the steps she took to get to where she is now, and we thank her for sharing her journey and giving us insight into the career of accounting!

On Tuesday, April 14th, Ms. Roher, Mr. Penderghest, and 52 of their students in the Genocide, Holocaust, and Crimes against Humanity dual enrollment course visited our partners at Congregation Keneseth Israel's Holocaust Awareness Museum and Education Center to commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day. The students were able to experience a 360-degree multimedia mobile immersive exhibit featuring a replica cattle car exhibit sponsored by Hate Ends Now and to tour the exhibits from the Holocaust in the museum. The exhibit focuses on the importance of empathy and recognizing the humanity of all people. The students enjoyed the opportunity to commemorate the pain of the past while celebrating the resilience of the human spirit.

The National Honor Society (NHS) teamed up with the National Art Honor Society (NAHS) to make tissue paper flowers to adorn spring baskets. The following week, members of NHS made over 40 spring baskets that were donated to the Rydal Park Nursing Home. The residents and staff at Rydal Park were so happy and grateful for this act of kindness from our scholars! We are #AbingtonProud #ASHSProud #FirstinActivities

We would like to thank Nicole Suanlarm and our own Peter Suanlarm for coming in and speaking to us about culinary arts and what it’s like to own your own business. It was interesting to learn how much work and dedication go into both cooking and running a successful business.

One of the biggest challenges you mentioned was deciding who to hire, since having the right team can make or break a business. Your insight gave us a better understanding of the real-world responsibilities behind the scenes, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us.
