BRHS Students of the Week Named, Sept. 28

Students are chosen to be honored at the high school.

As part of a new program at the Bridgewater-Raritan High School instituted by new principal Brett Charleston, at least one student is chosen every week to be honored for his or her contributions to the community at some point that week.

In this new column, we will honor those students each week, with the information included in Charleston's weekly principal's column, on the school's website.

Congratulations to each week's honorees!

  • Stephanie Csuha—(nominated by Mr. Poe) Csuha demonstrated a true concern for the world around her when she helped a small bird that was injured near the main office. Csuha came back toward the end of the day to see if it was OK. Other students, parents and faculty witnessed her actions, and were grateful and impressed.
  • Bradley Pietrucha—(nominated by Ms. Manko) Pietrucha is on his second year working with the life skills students. He worked with them during my 9th period art class last year as well. Pietrucha is compassionate, caring and understanding. It is beautiful to watch Pietrucha engage the students as he works with them. He is an amazing role model.
