Thirteen graduating seniors were recognized for their commitment to majoring in education in college and pursuing careers as future teachers.

The future teachers are guaranteed a job interview with P-H-M upon completion of their education degree and teacher licensure.

The students invited a current P-H-M teacher who played a meaningful role in encouraging their interest in the profession.

And then this afternoon, two more seniors pursuing careers in the skilled trades were recognized in the second Signing Day event.

Patrick Henning signed his commitment to begin an apprenticeship with Local 172 Plumbers and Pipefitters, while Brayden Ruth was recognized for enrolling in the Hobart Institute of Welding Technology’s 10-month welding program.

Local 172 Plumbers and Pipefitters is a valued community partner and a supporter of PHM Education Foundation.

The afternoon event highlighted additional career pathways available to Penn students as they prepare for life after graduation.

Together, the Signing Day celebrations reflected the many pathways Penn students can pursue after graduation.
