“When the announcement came out for the Outstanding Achievement Award, I hadn’t even thought of applying, but then my teacher… [encouraged] me. Filling out the application made me really pay attention to all the things I had done in the past with NJHS, and it gave me a new outlook on myself. I didn’t even realize how much I valued service until I wrote that application.” – AnnMarie Wolfley, 2021 NJHS Outstanding Achievement Award winner
