River Valley Superintendent Philip Martell was invited to serve as a panelist for a webinar hosted by the U.S. Department of Education.
Martell will be featured during the department’s series “Raise the Bar: Unlocking Career Success” this Friday. He will be joined by U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona to discuss how high schools prepare all students for their respective futures. The effort supports public and private sector leaders, government agencies, and other community-based organizations to help students earn post-secondary degrees and industry credentials that employers need and that meet economic needs.
River Valley took a step in the same direction with the launch of the STEAM Academy in Saltsburg, which provides unique opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience in several areas. One recent example is the CVS simulation lab, which launched in October and welcomed students a few weeks after.
