Career Awareness Program (CAP) Day Information

On Wednesday, April 15, Mars Area High School will host CAP Day for all students as part of our Career Awareness Program.

It is important that all students are in attendance on this day, as we will use this time to share important information and ensure they meet graduation requirements related to Career Readiness and Industry-Based Learning. As shared in the MAHS Fourth Nine Weeks Reminders/Information, please ensure that your children are present on this day.

If you have a Mars Cyber student, they should plan to attend in person for the duration of the CAP day activities. Reminders for each grade level will be sent at the beginning of next week as well.

There will be no JROTC or Vo-Tech on Wednesday, April 15, 2026.
