Dear EHTHS Families,
It has been another exciting and event-filled week here at Egg Harbor Township High School and we are proud to share the many accomplishments of our students and staff.
We would like to recognize Jamie Ronquillo, who has been working hard mastering the guitar. Jamie participated in a recital at Guitar Center in Mays Landing, where he delivered an outstanding performance. We are incredibly proud of his dedication and talent.
We would also like to congratulate several students for successfully earning their Adobe certification. This is an impressive accomplishment that reflects both skill and commitment. Congratulations to Angela Ta, Naitaisha Coles Liataud, June Rose Seyler, Alex Lee, and Logan Inman on this achievement.
Senior Caleigh Paskalides recently completed an outstanding Civic Engagement Project in partnership with the New Jersey Department of Education’s High School Voter Education Week and the Atlantic County Superintendent of Elections. Through her work, Caleigh designed a customized ballot for our students, led presentations and simulations for first-time voters, and helped register approximately 100 new student voters. Her efforts are a powerful example of student leadership and civic responsibility.
Our History Showcase last night was a tremendous success, bringing together students and staff from Miller, Alder, Fernwood, and the High School. Guests enjoyed incredible student projects highlighting all 50 states and key moments in our nation’s history, along with delicious food prepared by our Culinary Academy and Eagle Transition Academy students and engaging live performances by our Fine and Performing Arts students. A special thank you to Ms. Hannigan for organizing the event and to the Wingman and Interact Clubs for their support.
Our boys and girls crew teams also had an incredible showing at the Garden State Scholastic Championship on the Cooper River, bringing home a total of six state medals. The boys Varsity 8+ and girls Varsity 4+ earned bronze medals, while the boys and girls Lightweight 4+ boats and boys Novice 8+ captured silver. The girls Novice 8+ crew took home gold, finishing first in the state. We are excited to see our Eagles continue their success as they head into the Philadelphia City Championships this weekend.
Finally, we invite all students, families, and community members to attend a special screening of Facing the Wind: A film about love, life, and dementia on Monday, May 4th at 7:00 PM in the EHTHS auditorium (doors open at 6:30 PM). This powerful documentary follows the journey of individuals living with Lewy body dementia and holds special significance for our community as it features retired EHT teacher Linda Szypula. A Q&A session will follow the screening, along with light refreshments. We hope you will join us!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Ms. Carugno
