Students
from High Tech High School joined students from County Prep High School to release trout
into the Manasquan River in Wall Township, NJ. The trout were raised in the classroom
from eggs and their release marks the culminating activity of a state sponsored
program known as “Trout in the Classroom”. The district has been a participant
in this program for more than ten years. The Hudson County Schools of
Technology remain committed to the advancement of environmental education in
the state of New Jersey and is proud to participate with the New Jersey
Division of Wildlife and Trout Unlimited to bring this worthwhile program to
fruition. Teachers Nicholas LaVolpe, Stephanie Szymanski, Shelly Witham, and
Catherine Yuhas, along with their students, also received a guided boat tour of
the Manasquan Reservoir and a self- guided walking tour of Allaire State Park.
