‘He Is Kind And Willing To Help’: West Haven Star Student

WEST HAVEN, CT — Star Students are found in classrooms, on concert and theater stages and at debate lecterns, and out in the community doing good things to make life better for all of us.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize Star Students, and we’re working to tell the stories of these outstanding kids to their neighbors.

This submission comes from Theresa, who nominated Lance, 1st year in Transition Class at Gateway, of West Haven.
