Ms. Kathy Kelly-Garris’s Media & Literacy classes at Penn-Trafford High School wrapped up this year’s series of career speakers in early May. Community members and alumni were tapped to give career presentations to any high school students who wished to attend.
“All of the speakers were eager to donate their time to help our students learn about possible careers,” commented Ms. Kelly-Garris. “Some of them even told me that they wish they would have had this opportunity as a student because they see the high value in this experience. I am grateful that they shared their knowledge and wisdom with our students in order to help them decide on a future career”.
