On Friday, May 9, we welcomed Antranig Garibian—a successful business lawyer and proud Abington Senior High alum—back to campus for an inspiring visit to Think Tank 2! Speaking to Mr. Deck’s class, Mr. Garibian shared his incredible journey from nearly pursuing medicine to finding his true calling in law. His real-world experiences at top law firms, plus valuable advice on college courses and career tools, had students leaning in and taking notes. A special moment? Hearing him reflect on how "Law and You" at Abington first lit the spark that led to his legal career! Huge thanks to Mr. Garibian for giving back and lighting the path for our future leaders!

Dr. Garvey, director of the Philadelphia Police Department's Forensics Department visited for a Career Chatter on Tuesday, 5/6/25. He highlighted the importance of staying open to opportunities over the course of a career. Initially interested in medical school, and working as a paramedic during college, he pivoted to forensics and worked with the FBI and later the CIA in identifying individuals from flight 93 on 9/11. He discussed the importance of using DNA technology as a tool in the context of critical thinking (about what it can and cannot tell us). His advice to students pursuing a career in forensics is to apply to programs with strong science courses and requirements and to specialize in chemistry and biology rather than criminal justice.

On April 24, Abington Senior High School opened a new pop-up educational art installation for students and staff, timed to Holocaust Remembrance Day. The exhibit, which was curated by teachers of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity course, in partnership with the Holocaust Awareness Museum and Education Center in Elkins Park, includes five artworks about the Auschwitz experience, all created by Frank Root, the spouse of a survivor.
The art pieces are static, but each one has a QR code for students to explore the topic and event related in the work. Social studies classes throughout the school visit the exhibit one at a time, where the teachers lead a discussion about the pieces.
