Char Bzdok, Science teacher states, “This is the first year I have taught Connor. He is in my physical science class fifth hour. In this short amount of time knowing him, I can definitely tell that he cares about his grades and is a very bright young man! Besides being academically sound, Connor is the type of person who is very inquisitive and always thinks deeply into whatever we are studying at the time. His peers and classmates look up to him because he is always willing to help out. Connor is very deserving of this award!”
“Connor shows great respect towards staff and fellow students” adds Marvin Poegel, Physical Education teacher. “Connor is starting his high school years on the right track. Connor is self-disciplined and is prepared to do well in school. He is always willing to help in Physical Education class by putting equipment away at the end of the hour. Many times he shows initiative by just doing what he knows needs to be done without me even asking. Connor has tried many different extra-curricular activities. He is well-rounded and showing strength in music and acting. He has good manners along with a solid work ethic. I really enjoy his humble and positive approach to life. Connor is very deserving of this award.”
