Young Maplewood Woman Is New Jersey Star Student: Here's Why
Jaelen of Maplewood, an "awesome friend," was accepted into Howard University's School of Business Honors Program based on several criteria.
MAPLEWOOD, NJ — Star Students are found in classrooms, on concert and theater stages, 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 Aprell Fleming who nominated Jaelen, a freshman at Howard University in Washington, D.C. She graduated last June from Columbia High School in Maplewood.
"Because she maintained honor roll in high school while playing sports and active in clubs," Fleming noted, "she was accepted in Howard University's School of Business Honors Program."
