Pedro Gondim
Class of 2020
Senior Pedro Gondim plans to attend Lehigh University next year. Pedro will be studying Computer Science and Business at Lehigh. His favorite classes by far have been AP Economics and AP Calc BC. Pedro loves these classes because both subjects are very interesting and fun. Mr. Halldorson and Mr. McSweeney are very fun to talk to and the classes can be very funny sometimes, which helps with the heavy material. Outside of school, Pedro works part-time at a Subway restaurant. Although he has only been at North for two years, he has many great memories at school.
Participating in Walk for a Cure was a lot of fun. He really liked it because he was able to meet new people and make new friendships at the event. Hoops for Heart was probably the best in-school activity he has ever attended. All the football games were amazing and he loves the North school spirit. Overall, Pedro is glad he had the chance to experience a traditional American high school education and made a lot of friends along the way.

Isabella Stagg
Class of 2020
Isabella Stagg is a senior at North Hunterdon. Isabella is the Vice President of HOSA (Health Occupation Student Association) and Co-President of National Technical Honor Society. At North, she is an athlete on the Track Team, and has participated in the Med-Cross Club and Special Olympics. Isabella is a member of National Honor Society, Math Honor Society, Science Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society, and Art Honor Society. Her favorite class at North was Biomedical Sciences with Dr. Badgwell. The students in the class formed a really tight bond over the past four years and Isabella enjoyed having the opportunity to learn about biology and medicine. She plans to attend Georgia Tech next year as a Neuroscience major. Isabella is a Girl Scout and has earned her Bronze and Silver Awards. Her favorite memories from North are the waffle days that her Chemistry and Biology classes would organize before Christmas break or after AP tests. The days allowed them to take a break from learning and hang out as a class.

We appreciate your generosity and giving spirit to help the community. KUDOS!
