MAHS Career Readiness

Seniors Present Career Action Plans

Middletown Area High School seniors recently presented their Career Action Plans (CAP) to panels of District administrators, faculty, and community business partners, including professionals from the health and sciences, law enforcement, insurance, and service industries.

The CAP interviews are a graduation requirement and task students with presenting post-secondary plans.

Presentations included an introduction to panel members, a description of their primary/secondary career pathway throughout high school, intended career path, short and long term plans, and influences in choosing their designated career or direction. Panel members engaged with the presenters and provided encouragement, feedback, and advice regarding career choices and future plans.

In her CAP Interview Senior Jaina Zehring said she has always been interested in the healthcare field and a desire to help people. Her career goal is to become an ultrasound technician. She said she knows the schooling will be difficult, but is up for the challenge.

The CAP interviews are an initiative through the school’s career pathways and career readiness program and a way to equip students with vital public speaking skills. Senior Bradyn Pristello, pictured below, shared his plans to attend Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology.

Thank you to the high school counseling department for organizing the event and MAHS staff for helping prepare students for the interviews. A special thank you to our community partners for investing their time and knowledge in our students.

MAHS Hosts Annual Post-Secondary Fair

As part of the MAHS career readiness initiative, juniors and seniors attended the school’s annual post-secondary fair and met with representatives from more than 30 colleges and universities, trade organizations, and military branches.

Junior Isa Markert, who is interested in pursuing a career in music education, said he hoped to get an idea of schools that have quality music education and theater programs. Junior Makayla Long said she wanted to find a college where she could reach her career goal, which is to be a special education teacher.

The event provides students the opportunity to learn more about post-secondary options and begin to narrow down the next phase of their education or vocation.
