Yesterday was College and Career Readiness Day at UMAHS! Our 9th graders had the opportunity to learn from a diverse panel of guest speakers. Professionals from a variety of fields including Upper Merion Police Department members, real estate agents, attorneys, professional dancers, Philadelphia Eagles facility directors, and former Division 1 athletes turned fitness entrepreneurs. Each shared their unique paths from high school to career success. A highlight of the day was our very own Mr. Garrett Crouse, who inspired students by recounting his journey from touring the country in a rock band to becoming a rockstar math teacher!

Expanding horizons, building connections, and mastering languages!

Our UMAHS World Language Department is buzzing with immersive learning across Spanish, French, and German! Our students are stepping beyond textbook grammar to experience real-world language, culture, and critical thinking in action.

Check out how our Viking students are bringing languages to life this week:

• Spanish: Putting culinary skills to the test in class while celebrating Spanish-speaking countries, cultural products, and heritage pride through student-led presentations!

• German: Engaging in hands-on vocabulary building with a table-setting challenge, leveraging EdPuzzle for video analysis, and holding a thought-provoking Gallery Walk on refugee perspectives.

• French: Fostering authentic comprehension and independent reading through target-language literature and silent reading sessions.

• Multilingual Dialogues: Practicing authentic, real-time conversations in Spanish, French, and German with collaborative teacher input and support every step of the way!

From kitchen skills and literature to global issues and conversational fluency, our students are truly becoming global citizens!

National Honor Society students at UMAHS who participate in the county-wide Voices for Education had their first meeting of the school year at the MCIU on September 23rd. They discussed successes & challenges in education & started learning about how to advocate for change.
