What a wonderful group to represent the amazing teaching staff at MMHS!
Mardela is excited to focus on Career and College preparation by taking our high schoolers on a tour of Salisbury University this week. They saw many aspects of the college and given information about college life.
TAD students worked with real CSI(s) from Ocean City at Wor-Wic Community College. They learned about various forensic careers, how to cast shoe prints, read fingerprints and use magnetic powder.
Mrs. Rhodes, Career Coach for Mardela was excited to bring a special guest speaker to school today giving our students an opportunity for Career Exploration. Students interested in being a veterinarian had the chance to meet Dr. Emily Palmeiri of HousePaws Mobile Vet Service today. Our middle and high schoolers asked great questions, learned about a day in the life of a vet, veterinarian school, and were able to see the mobile vet unit. Thank you Dr. Emily for visiting with our students today!!
