Middlesex County students will be recognized on March 7

Students, family members, administrators and school board members from Middlesex County communities will attend the 2018 Middlesex County Student Recognition Program, which will be held at 6:30 p.m. on March 7 at Old Bridge High School, 4209 Route 516, Matawan.

The dinner, sponsored by the Middlesex County School Boards Association and the Middlesex County Association of School Administrators, will recognize a junior and senior from each high school in Middlesex County who have overcome obstacles, faced tragedies or have disabilities that they have been able to overcome, and still successfully complete high school. About 350 people are expected to attend.

The honorees are the schools’ unsung heroes/heroines, students who make outstanding contributions to their schools and communities, but who might be overlooked under traditional student recognition guidelines.
