Congratulations to the HS North Sailing team on winning the Spring Fleet Championship last week. They competed against 13 other NJ teams at Toms River Yacht Club. With this win, our sailors move on to compete for a spot in the national championships. Anchors Aweigh!
Congratulations to senior Lauren Brodsky, for being named HS North's "Unsung Hero Award" winner and HS North's "Caring Award" winner. The Unsung Hero award goes to a student who has shown great dedication, a positive attitude, and resiliency. Even in the face of adversity, they achieve great success. The Caring Award goes to a student who has gone above and beyond to help others during their time at HS North. Lauren was nominated and selected for both of these awards because we felt she fit the criteria to a tee. Lauren has been a dedicated student and participant both in and out of the building during her 4 years at North. She has earned great success in the classroom and left her mark outside the classroom through her service. Lauren will be continuing her education at The College of New Jersey next year, where we have no doubt she will shine.
