Waldwick HS Community, We are excited to inform you about an upcoming event that aims to promote mental health awareness within our school community. During the month of May, the Mind Over Matter Club has been dedicated to highlighting the significance of mental well-being among our student body.

  We're really excited about the upcoming 1st Annual STARS Award Show! STARS stands for Senior Tribute & Recognition Show, where we'll be giving out department and school awards. Normally, these awards were part of the Senior Awards Night along with scholarships. But this year, we're doing something special by hosting the STARS Award Show as a separate event. Alongside the usual awards, we've got some fun senior superlatives picked by our teachers. These superlatives cover a range of categories, from silly to serious, adding a nice mix of humor and importance to the event. The 1st Annual STARS Award Show is going to be a great way to honor the talent and hard work of our seniors. We're looking forward to celebrating with everyone!
