BOE Student Representative Monthly Report
Lenape High School
At Lenape, end-of-the-year festivities came in full force. Lenape celebrated an amazing senior prom at the National Constitution Center with great attendance and hundreds of students enjoying the night. During the last week of school, seniors all got together to celebrate their final Friday at Lenape at Topgolf. This was a fun event to get the grade excited about graduating, and bring everyone together. Following the event, there was a senior sunset allowing seniors to get together one last time before graduation. Not only were there exciting end-of-the-year events, but great academic success. Congratulations to the three students, Amogh Biradar, Nesa Shah, and Jessica Yao, who were accepted into this year’s Governor’s Schools. Amogh and Nesa will be attending the School of Engineering and Technology, and Jessica will be attending the School of Science.
