Greater Egg Harbor board hears from valedictorians; superintendent gives brief remarks
Summary
Principals introduced valedictorians and salutatorians from the district's three high schools; one student said they will attend Dartmouth. Dr. Dan Dooley was introduced and gave brief remarks identifying his roles.
The Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District board paused regular business to hear special presentations recognizing the top students from each building. The presiding officer said the full board should “hear, and see directly the best and the brightest among our district” and invited each principal to introduce that school's valedictorian and salutatorian.
Principal Curran introduced a top student from his building, highlighting a lengthy résumé of coursework and activities: multiple Advanced Placement and honors courses, membership in the National Honor Society and the Computer Science National Honor Society, and participation in FBLA, Key Club, math club and student council. Curran said the student plans to attend Dartmouth to study history.
Principals Parker and Manning also introduced their top students and the group gathered for photos. The presiding officer led a brief, informal survey of the students about plans for graduate school, noting only a few indicated they expect to pursue graduate study immediately after a four-year degree.
The presiding officer then called up Dr. Dan Dooley, who greeted the assembly and identified himself as superintendent and as president of the county association of school administrators. Dooley began brief remarks to the board. The transcript records Dooley saying, "Good evening, everyone. I'm doctor Dooley, the proud superintendent of [district]," (transcript spelling of the district name varied); the article uses the district's official name in text.
