Senior Cameron Stultz was named a candidate in the 2025 U.S. Presidential Scholars Program from the U.S. Department of Education and the Commission on Presidential Scholars. Approximately 600 candidates are named semi-finalists. In April, the White House Commission on Presidential Scholars will review the applications of all semifinalists, applying the same criteria used by the review committee, to select up to 161 U.S. Presidential Scholars for this year.

Get ready to dodge, duck, dip, dive, and have a blast! The Annual Essex High School Dodgeball Tournament is back on Tuesday, March 11, from 3:30 to 5:30 PM, and we want YOU to be part of it! This year, Student Government has revamped the tournament with a fresh, more inclusive approach. After working closely with our school equity team, we realized that past participation may have been limited due to the way teams were formed. To make the event more accessible to everyone, teams will now be created within advisories, ensuring a diverse mix of players who already know and support each other. The Dodgeball Tournament is a long-standing tradition at EHS. We encourage you to sign up, rally your advisory, and get involved in this fun and spirited event. Only a minimum of SIX students in an advisory are required to be a team. Let’s make this year’s tournament the best one yet! The winning team will be awarded a tournament trophy. If you have any questions or want to learn more, feel free to reach out to Student Government advisors Charlie Burnett at cburnett@ewsd.org or Barb Isham at bisham@ewsd.org. We can’t wait to see you on the court!
