The faculty decided this contest would be great for the students because it'll make them work harder and strive for an achievement. The students meet certain requirements every month and throughout the year to win this award. Congratulations to Emma Koch for winning the award!

Emma has excelled in all things academic and extra curricular, sweeping away the competition for Student of the Month.

“I selected Emma Koch as Student of the Month for various reasons,” Principal Kane tells us. “Emma has succeeded in all her classes, participated in PALS and NJHS, as well as always having a positive attitude.” Some requirements are having a GPA of above a 3.8, you must be taking at least 2 Pre-AP classes, and participate in one club. Emma has succeeded all of the categories, with a 4.2 GPA, 2 clubs, and all Pre-AP classes. 

We asked Emma why she wanted to be Student of the Month.

“My brother, Brad, was Student of the Month two years ago, I wanted to prove to him that I could do it too,” Emma replied. When we were interviewing Emma, she told us that her parents were very proud of her for winning the award, and that she was utterly shocked and overjoyed when she heard her name being announced. She felt a lot of pride in herself for winning and pushing herself.


Emma plans to graduate early next year, then later attend college at Stanford.
