Language students took a field trip to a language Symposium held at Dallastown High School on March 21.

The field trip allowed students to explore different career fields involving foreign language skills.

Senior Christian Collins attended the field trip with a mix of different classes.

“It was set up like a college fair with different tables, but instead of different colleges, it was different stations that had presentations with varying times in between because they were staggered a little bit,” said Collins. “The stations were staggered so students would be able to go to two of the Health 1 presentations and one of the Foreign Exchange presentations.”

Collins recommends the field trip for future language students.

“I definitely recommend the field trip because Dallastown is a well funded school, and …I learned about being an exchange student for opportunities for scholarships,” said Collins.

Some students could apply knowledge gained from this field trip to future studies in college.

Senior Theresa Falzone maybe be able to apply knowledge gained for the future.

“I am definitely interested in communications and language skills, so this field trip was definitely a big help for me,” said Falzone.

There were also parts of the field trip that students didn’t like, and it was picking stations that had careers they were uninterested in.

Sophomore Emma Khoury wasn’t fond of certain job choices.

“We had to pick basic career fields that we didn’t want to do or was least interesting to us, so I picked police officers and law enforcement. I didn’t want to, but we had to, so that was the least interesting part,” said Khoury.

Spanish, Latin, and French classes attended the same field trip.
