Chief's Report CHIEF’S REPORT PISCATAWAY HIGH SCHOOL HIGHLIGHTS Jason Lester, Principal October 2016 MESSAGE FROM MR. LESTER It’s beginning to look and feel like fall. The leaves are changing to autumn brown and orange, which provides us with a beautiful view as we drive through the great state of New Jersey. We are in full swing at PHS. I cannot emphasize this enough - the students in Piscataway are doing tremendous things inside and outside of the classroom. Our BioMedical Program received the 30th Annual School Leader Award from New School Boards in late October. This is an outstanding job by the Science Department. Special thank you to Dr. Murphy, Dr. Szeto, and Ms. Wilson, the front line leaders of the program. We our very proud of Elise Merritt who is a 2017 National Merit Program Semifinalist as well as six other students that achieved the Commended Student status (Arth Baghel, Sarah Cianfrone, Danghuy Nguyen, Jovan Snyder, Catherine Wang, and Susan Wu), a fine group of young people. All students were involved in an array of activities during the Week of Respect through Violence Awareness and Prevention programs. The FBLA students hosted their annual Haunted House for younger students on October 28, which is always well attended.

Pictured from left to right (PHOTO 2471) are NHS officers: Sameen Siddiqui, Treasurer, Chimdi Chukwu, Secretary, Kevin Carolina, President and Eyad Warraky, Vice President of Service. SCIENCE Science Trip to Hacklebarney State Park On October 21, Mr. Flynn and Mr. Bellew took 27 Advanced Placement Environmental Science students on a field trip to Hacklebarney State Park. The teachers developed some challenging questions for this group relevant to the AP curriculum, and based on their answers in the field trip handout, it was evident that their experience in the woods reinforced the concepts taught in the classroom. Furthermore, students were able to observe how animals (insects, salamanders, toads) interacted with plants and the abiotic aspects of the forest and other environmental science concepts such as food chains/ food webs, organism life cycles, bio- decomposition, water cycle, etc. Students were able to observe all of these concepts "hands-on" at Hacklebarney. SOCIAL STUDIES The social studies department has been busy this fall integrating Election 2016 lessons and activities into the classroom, including issues debates and a school wide Mock Election coordinated by Ms. McGowan through the New Jersey Council for Social Studies.

Piscataway is a highly diverse community in terms of socio-economic and racial/ethnic diversity. The program is offered by the Piscataway Board of Education in partnership with the Center for Applied Psychology at Rutgers University. Our program is open during school hours and four evenings a week to see families with a remarkable range of presenting problems and demographic characteristics. During the school day, we provide individual and group counseling to high school students, as well as consultation and crisis intervention. Many of these students are high-risk, and one of our program goals is to help maintain them in the mainstream high school setting rather than being isolated in private special education schools. We also provide individual counseling services to the in-house alternative program at the high school. Under the supervision of the Director, Patrick Connelly, Psy.D. (who is licensed in New Jersey), two doctoral internships will be offered. Both interns will have the opportunity to participate in all aspects of the program. The positions require two evenings per week and include delivery of comprehensive mental health services to individual students, student groups, and families as well as consultation to teachers, parents and staff to enhance student academic performance and social-emotional well-being.
