Every week during the school year, North Jersey school districts nominate outstanding students for recognition in The Record and on NorthJersey.com.
The poll opens Mondays at 5 a.m. and closes Thursdays at 5 p.m. On Fridays, we announce the top two vote-getters as students of the week, featuring their stories online and in print in The Record on Sundays and our weekly newspapers.
This week, we featured our winners for the fall semester. Another vote was held featuring the winners of each week to pick students for the whole semester. The two winners also received portraits done by our artist Bob Rebach.
Make sure to vote each week once the second half begins, and we encourage school staff from throughout North Jersey to submit nominations.
