Highland, Triton Students Among Rutgers BizEd Winners

The Black Horse Pike Regional School District was well-represented at Rutgers University-Camden's summer business school for high-school students.

Of the 43 students to participate in Rutgers-Camden's two-week BizEd program, nine were awarded laptop computers for their efforts.

And, of those nine winners, three are students at Highland and Triton.

Highland's Amelia Adams, of Gloucester Township's Laurel Springs section, and Triton's Alycia Guzman, of the township's Glendora section, and Gabrielle Leonchuck, of Runnemede, were among the nine winners.

From July 11 through 22, "BizEd:A Leadership Program for High School Students" offered 43 high-school students from Burlington, Camden and Gloucester counties with a forum for "lively discussions and an assortment of interactive activities specially designed to spark creativity, develop decision-making skills and reinforce the concept that the business world offers a host of exciting and profitable career opportunities," according to Rutgers.
