Career Exploration Event Set For Sept. 14 Penn Manor High School and Warfel Construction will host a “Careers in Construction Exploration Event” for parents and students from 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 14, at the construction site on the high school campus, 100 E. Cottage Ave., Millersville. During the event, participants will tour the site and learn about construction careers, including the roles of carpenters, electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, project managers, virtual design coordinators, drone pilots, and construction superintendents. The event is not limited to Penn Manor students and is open to any student in grades seven to 12. Student attendees must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The deadline to register is Monday, Sept. 9. To register, readers may visit
www.warfelcc.com/student_tour. Sept. 14 will not be the first time Warfel and the high school have collaborated. For Penn Manor High School students and staff members, the massive construction project that began this past year at the school brought parking restrictions, relocated classrooms, and the constant din of heavy equipment just outside classrooms and offices. It also provided opportunities for students to learn about real-world math, engineering, and design applications and to study the life cycle of trees. Math students learned how construction workers and surveyors use trigonometry and algebra in the field. Agricultural mechanics students learned about the inner workings of a temporary ag shop as it was being built, and plant science students got to examine the rings of a tree cut down as part of the project.
