Oops… they did it again! 🩸🔬
Our Anatomy & Physiology students turned a Friday half day into a hands-on learning experience—this time inviting their parents in to roll up their sleeves and practice blood typing together!
Who says learning stops at the classroom door? Around here, we make science a family affair. ❤️

On Tuesday, April 14, the Schuylkill Haven High School Math Team competed in the Elizabethtown College Math Competition. Representing the Hurricanes were seniors Matt Angelo, Blake Rossi, Ariyanna Wright, and Jake Craft. The competition included 72 students from 17 different school districts, making it a highly competitive academic event.
Ari answered 26 out of 30 questions correctly, earning an impressive 4th place overall finish. Matt finished 14th, while Blake and Jake both earned strong performances tying for 2oth place in the competition.
These seniors have been outstanding members of the Schuylkill Haven Math Team throughout their high school careers. Overall, the past four years, they have helped lead the team to first-, second-, and third-place finishes in team competitions, demonstrating dedication, perseverance, and a passion for mathematics.
We congratulate Matt, Blake, Ari, and Jake on their accomplishments and thank them for their leadership and commitment to the Math Team. Their hard work and success have made a lasting impact on the program, and we wish them the very best in their future endeavors.

Yesterday, SHAHS students took a trip to the NEPA Career Fair at Martz Hall, where they connected with a wide range of employers and discovered exciting volunteer opportunities. From exploring potential career paths to making meaningful connections, our students made the most of every moment.
Opportunities don’t just happen—they’re explored. And our students are already on their way. 👏

Our high school students had an incredible opportunity to learn firsthand about careers in medicine during a recent mentor session with Mandy Hendricks!
Mandy shared her journey into the field of Oncology, offering insight into her education, experiences, and the dedication it takes to work in such a meaningful and impactful profession. Students asked thoughtful questions and gained a deeper understanding of both the challenges and rewards of a career in healthcare.
A big thank you to Mandy for inspiring the next generation!

The Schuylkill Haven Area Middle School ACHIEVE Program recently experienced an incredible outpouring of kindness through our “Hearts Around the World” challenge!
After sharing a request on our Facebook and Instagram pages for Valentine’s cards, we were amazed by the response. Our students received heartfelt messages and thoughtful gifts from participants across 21 states and 5 continents. Each delivery brought excitement, curiosity, and plenty of smiles!
As the cards arrived, students actively tracked each location on a map of the United States and began adding countries from around the world. This hands-on activity not only built geography skills, but also created a powerful visual of just how far love and kindness can travel.
Through this experience, our students saw firsthand that simple acts of kindness can connect people across cities, states, and even continents. The “Hearts Around the World” challenge became more than just a project—it was a meaningful reminder of the goodness that exists in our world.
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who took the time to send a card, gift, or message. Your kindness made a lasting impact on our students and helped spread joy! Thank you for being part of this special experience! 💕

Some of our incredible High School Aevidum members took positivity beyond the classroom today and into our community 💙
In preparation for Mental Health Awareness Month this May, students spent time painting uplifting messages and designs on the windows at Tanya Goodman Counseling Services—using creativity to remind others that they are seen, supported, and never alone.
It’s a small act with a powerful impact, and a great example of what Aevidum is all about: “I’ve got your back.”
Be sure to check out their work if you’re in town—and take a moment to smile, reflect, and spread a little kindness of your own.

🪨🗒️✂️ Championship news from SHAHS!
After a fierce (and surprisingly intense) showdown of luck and 8th grader Noah Runkle has been crowned the grand champion of the first-ever Rock–Paper–Scissors Tournament hosted by the SHAHS National Honor Society.
His victory comes with some highly coveted prizes: a full week at the front of the lunch line (yes, first in victory= first in line ), and a week enjoying Dr. Fitzpatrick’s famously comfortable office chair—now officially “on loan to greatness.”
Beyond the bragging rights and bracket domination, this event helped raise funds to offset the National Honor Society’s annual national dues. Thank you to all students and staff who participated, cheered, and dramatically overthought their final throws.
Based on the overwhelming enthusiasm (and competitive hand positioning being practiced in hallways), we’re excited to make this an annual tradition.
Start practicing now… because next year, that rolling office chair could be making its way down the halls again—and it might not come back empty. 👀

Stepping into the real world—one question at a time 💼✨
Today in our YES 1 class, students put their skills to the test during a hands-on Mock Interview Workshop!
Half the class took on the role of interviewers, creating stations with 5 thoughtful questions each. The other half rotated through, answering on the spot and showcasing their communication and professionalism.
The twist? 👀
Interviewers had the final say—would they hire their peers based on their responses?
An engaging way to build confidence, practice real-world skills, and maybe even land that “job!” 👏
