Polls are open. Cast your vote for North Jersey Student of the Week for May 13-17
The Student of the Week poll is open and ready for you to vote.
Each week during the school year, we are soliciting nominations from staff and faculty of high schools (sorry parents!) across North Jersey of students who are doing something special in their schools and their communities.
Like our long-running athlete-of-the-week feature that honors athletic achievement, this award seeks to highlight academic achievement, extra-curricular activities, volunteerism and other pursuits that are part of the lives of so many of our young scholars.
The poll typically will launch Monday morning and close at 5 p.m. Thursday. On Friday morning, we will announce the top two vote-getters as students of the week with a short story about each.
If you are a high school administrator/teacher and would like to find out more about the program, please email studentoftheweek@northjersey.com. Again, only school officials can nominate students.
