Mars Area welcomes exchange students
Mars Area High School’s Mars International Student Association/American Field Service chapter has welcomed two exchange students for the 2023-24 school year.
They are seniors Charlotte Nikel from the village of Erdeborn in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, and Marko Pavlovski from Skopje, North Macedonia.
Each spring, the chapter welcomes foreign exchange students from Mars Area and surrounding school districts to share information about their countries and cultures with students at Mars high school as part of an International Days event.
In addition to hosting exchange students from other countries, the high school’s exchange student chapter offers scholarships to eligible students who are interested in traveling abroad. Numerous Mars Area students have participated in exchange programs in the chapter’s more than 50-year history.
