The Journal Sentinel needs your help honoring excellent high schoolers in the area. Here's how.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is highlighting the accomplishments of local high schoolers with its weekly Student of the Week poll.
The Journal Sentinel announced the first Student of the Week, Jeremy Stroik, on Feb. 2.
Since then, we've highlighted three more students: Aidan Bigonia, Benjamin Blankenburg and Nina Dorger.
But the Journal Sentinel needs more schools to submit student nominations for consideration. Each week, a reporter publishes a list of finalists and online poll for the public to vote on. That poll remains open between Mondays and Thursdays, with a winner announced Friday mornings.
