Four Mars Area High School seniors joined in a “Special Education Destination: Mapping the Journey to Your Career” Field Trip, held Oct. 21 at Midwestern Intermediate Unit IV (Grove City).

The event, open to high school juniors and seniors, also offered students a look at the educational career path; modern technologies that assist students with disabilities; and, an opportunity to talk with current special education professionals.
