Star Student: Caleigh Excels In Music, Sports In Howell
We all know students who excel in academic, fine arts or volunteer service. Here's one local resident who is having an impact in Howell.
HOWELL, NJ — 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 Vivian who nominated her daughter Caleigh, grade 12 of Howell.
Caleigh is both a musician and an athlete and hopes to become a music teacher. She also has advanced in Girl Scouts, writing a book about children on the autism spectrum learning to make new friends.
