State Rep. Bryan Cutler visited Penn Manor High School on Jan. 24 to learn more about the school's programs and to congratulate Penn Manor's Teacher of the Year finalist.
Cutler visited the psychology classroom of Maria Vita, who was one of 12 finalists vying for the 2019 Teacher of the Year Award. Cutler congratulated Vita and then spent time with students as they worked with lab rats. The students were interacting with their "adopted" rats to socialize them before they are used in conditioning lab experiments.
Cutler also addressed students in Jon Boxleitner's Advanced Placement Government class, where he talked about serving in the state legislature and answered students' questions about state government.
Later, he visited with high school counselor Melissa Ostrowski to learn about Penn Manor's Comet Credential initiative. Introduced last year, the program helps ninth-graders develop the soft skills employers say are needed to succeed in the modern workforce.
