Archmere Academy welcomed two special visitors through the “Principal for a Day” program. Mr. Phillip Vavala, Director of Transmission & Substation Engineering, and Mrs. Kelly DeCurtis, Director of Talent Management, from Delmarva Power/Exelon joined current Archmere Principal, Katie Eissler-Thiel, for a day on campus.
During their visit, Mr. Vavala and Mrs. DeCurtis toured Archmere’s expansive campus, visited math and science classes, met with student leaders from the Auks for the Earth Ecology Club, and led a Lunch & Learn with Student Council. Students were grateful to learn more about Exelon’s goals and objectives, and how Mr. Vavala and Mrs. DeCurtis perceive the ever changing and diverse needs within the energy industry.
As a continuation of our meaningful on-campus conversations, Archmere looks forward to exploring collaborative, educational opportunities with Exelon, specifically related to renewable energy, a subject area that greatly interests current students.
