On Friday, May 9, Dr. Phil Skiba visited Abington Senior High School for the second time this year. Dr. Skiba shared his journey with students—from studying biology and microbiology, to becoming a physician, PhD, and leader in the field of Sports and Exercise Medicine—is nothing short of inspiring. Hearing about your work with Olympic athletes, Team USA, and even the groundbreaking Nike Breaking 2 project gave our students a glimpse into a world where science, medicine, and elite athletic performance come together. Many students stayed after to ask more questions—they were clearly excited and curious, which speaks volumes about how much Dr. Skiba’s session resonated with them. Thank you to Dr. Skiba for his generosity and commitment to mentorship. We are #AbingtonProud #ASDProud #ASHSProud #FirstinAcademics @abingtonsd

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?

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. We are #AbingtonProud #ASHSProud #FirstinAcademics @abingtonschooldistrict
On Thursday, May 1st the Business and Entrepreneurship Career Chatter hosted Tom Dunn and Joe Rinaldi in Think Tank 2.

Students thoroughly participated in a well-rounded Q&A session, and walked away with contacts for potential future endeavors.
