Superintendent Norman recently visited students in Mrs. Bulla's "Exploring Teaching as a Profession" class to share about his own career journey in education, experiences as superintendent and to answer questions. Developed in 2017-18 , this class is one of the SUNY Albany college credit opportunities offered at MWHS and gives students the opportunity to take a deeper dive into the roles of teachers in public education.
"My mom instilled in me that education was important. I watched my mother model teaching for years, I valued education and I have a passion for helping people. I decided I wanted to be a teacher. I chose a path of elementary education and it was one of the better choices of my life."
~ Dr. Norman

Students from Mr. Vero's First Aid and CPR classes had a hands-on learning experience
when they traveled to Touro Medical College to tour the campus, shadow medical students, and learn about different medical career pathways. The highlight of the trip for many of the students was when they worked in the Human Anatomy laboratory. It was an experience they will never forget.
