Antoni Halka
Class of 2023
Antoni Halka says his favorite class at North Hunterdon was Organic Chemistry. Antoni enjoyed learning about chemical properties and how chemicals interact with each other. He finds it very interesting how we are all built by these molecules. Antoni is Captain of the swim team and has the role of an officer in National Spanish Honor Society. He is a member of Key Club, Chess Club, Ski Club, National Honor Society, National Math Honor Society, and National Science Honor Society. Outside of North, Antoni is a lifeguard and swim instructor at the YMCA. Antoni says his years at North Hunterdon were filled with fun and good memories. His favorite memories came from the swim team. Even though the swim team lost a lot of their meets, the team was still able to have a lot of fun. The best meets were against teams they could win against. At those meets, the team had high energy and everyone was cheering on each other to win. Next year, Antoni will be studying Biology and Chemistry at the University of Florida.
