WEEKLY UPDATE
September 15, 2017
From the desk of the Principal:
The character education word of the month is DEDICATE
STUDENTS OF THE WEEK
Student: Will Worth Nominated by: Mr. Carmichael Will showed a lot of character when he randomly spotted a razorblade resting on the top of the fire alarm. Will grabbed the razor and immediately brought it to the first staff member he saw in the hallway. Will showed integrity and strong morals by turning in the razor and making sure no one got hurt.
Student: Felix Rivera Nominated by: Mrs. Butrus Felix was very helpful during the fire drill on Tuesday, September 12, 2017. He offered to help push my wheelchair student out of the building and while exiting helped me to hold the doors open for this student. Felix has been helpful and cooperative during the drill.
What a great opening for our 2017-18 school year! The freshman are all finding their classes,
we had four great Renaissance assemblies for each of the grade levels, and Back-to-School
Night was a great opportunity to partner with parents and get everyone on the same page as
we move forward. Parents were able to register themselves to offer personal expertise that
will augment our curriculum. Our Senior Ambassadors were out in force helping parents
navigate the building and the flower arrangements at the main entrance were beautiful
(thanks Mrs. Butrus!). The School Store was buzzing all night with Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Zitto and
our student entrepreneurs bringing in gross sales of $3,488 (a BTSN record!) It was good to see
alumni of all ages visiting the school and having a positive community vibe throughout the
whole night. Thanks as always to our maintenance and custodial staff for making the building
sparkle.
Congratulations to Mr. Martirone who was featured in an Education Week article on the topic
of using podcasts in the classroom:

Congratulations to EHTHS alumnus Kaitlyn Schoeffel who finished as the 2nd runner up in the
2017 Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City this past weekend! Kaitlyn has been working with
the district in her capacity as Miss New Jersey and has made everyone in the township proud.
See picture below submitted by Mrs. Rice of Kaitlyn assisting with the Interact Club’s “Jeans
for Teens” last Spring.
From Mrs. Makos:
This past Saturday, the EHTHS Silver Eagle Marching Band hosted a Tournament of Bands Competition on our home turf. The band boosters hosted four visiting bands from Southern Regional HS, Barnegat HS, Jefferson Twp. HS, and Woodbury HS and the competition went off without a hitch. While EHTHS's marching band was in exhibition, they performed a fantastic first half of their program and will spend the next few weeks learning the second half. GO EHT!
From Mr. Swift:
The following students attended PennApps (University of Pennsylvania's Hackathon) Sept 8th-10th. Jaysson Solano Christian Kline Nicholas Michelette James Vu Josh Sennett
As described on the university website:
In the context of a hackathon, the word "hack" is used to describe how multiple technologies can be used together in a new and innovative way. Teams of up to four people spend the weekend working on innovative software and hardware solutions to real-world problems. These projects range in platform and application, including elements of web development, mobile applications, drones, and more. However, many times the most important aspect of a hackathon is the community it generates and skills that inexperienced hackers walk away with. http://2017f.pennapps.com/
Have a great weekend!

WEEKLY GAME/SCORE REPORT
SPORT/OPPONENT/LOCATION/DATE SCORE/ HIGHLIGHTS/ DETAILS
Cross Country
Boys Cross Country
The boys started off the season with three wins
in the first race of the season against
Absegami, Bridgeton, and Vineland. Gobi
Thurairajah won the 3.1 mile race with a time
of 17:17. Brian Catania, Jordan Callahan, Justin
Winkler, and Ryan Simpson rounded out the
top 5.
Girls Cross Country
Your other RIGHT!!!! Although our top 5 girls
made a wrong turn and ran an extra half mile,
the girl’s team also started out the season 3-0
showing a lot of heart to come from
behind. Rachel Roesch broke the tape finishing
first. Olivia Shafer, Madelyn Shick, Gianna
Scarangelli, and Mikki Pomato were top 5 for
the girls.
Field Hockey
Varsity Field Hockey is currently 2-2. The
eagles beat Bridgeton and Middle Township
while losing to Clearview and Absegami.
Angelica Dagit scored the lone goal to beat
middle township and also added 3 goals in the
win against bridgeton. Hailey Rando, Jette
Trumbauer and Kaitlyn Rigss have played
outstanding so far this season.
JV field hockey played tough but tied their
game yesterday against Absegami 0-0. Their
record so far this season is 0-2-1. Tomorrow
they play Millville. Courtney Carmen. She is the
only player to come and support her varsity
team while they played Bridgeton. She is a
wonderful role model to the younger players,
and a great support for her varsity players.
The freshman field hockey team lost
to Haddonfield on 9/11. Taylor Wright scored
the only goal for the Eagles
Boys Soccer
Freshmen Boys Soccer went 1-0-1 last week
with a win against Haddonfield and a draw at
the Prep. The boys scored five goals in each
game, as Ahmad Brock scored six goals
with one assist and Joey Moller scored two
goals with two assists.
Girls Soccer
EHT won a thriller 2-1 against GCIT in the first
round of the Ferguson Tournament held at
Clayton High School. Senior captain Bella
Calender scored the game winner a minute and
a half into the second overtime to secure the
victory for the Eagles. Senior captain Stefi
Piantadosi opened the scoring with a smooth
finish after clever build up play in the midfield.
EHT finished out the week by winning the
Ferguson Tournament held at Clayton High
School. EHT defeated Schalick 2-0 on a cool,
crisp night in Clayton. Freshman Niki Danz
scored her first career varsity goal off an assist
by senior captain Stefi Piantadosi 15 minutes
into the second half. Stefi later hit a laser that
beat the keeper on a direct kick just outside
the box to clinch the victory for the Eagles.
Senior Brianna Gehringer recorded the shutout
for EHT; junior midfielder Alexa Albert dazzled
the crowd with her tenacity, footwork, and
relentless pursuit of opponents. Senior captain
Siani Magruder was awarded the tournament
MVP trophy for her stellar defense and calm
ball-handling skills out of the back to start the
attack. With this win, Coach Wiech becomes
the winningest girls’ soccer coach in Egg
Harbor Township School history.
EHT remained undefeated with the first CAL
American Conference victory against ACIT 3-0.
All three goals were scored in the first half.
The first by sophomore midfielder Kara Semet,
the second by senior captain Stefi Piantadosi,
and the third by senior captain Bella Callender.
The Lady Eagles dominated possession only
giving up one shot on senior goalie Brianna
Gehringer. Senior defenders Megan Katapodis
and Devan Freas helped secure the shutout
while repeatedly jumping into the attack.
The EHT novice team began the season with
three tough out of conference games in the
past week at Haddonfield Memorial, Delsea
Regional, and Williamstown. The girls showed
commitment and team spirit throughout all of
their practices in the past week and have
showed many signs of improvement, including
playing a tough Williamstown squad down to
the final minutes of the match. Rachel Rzemyk
scored our first goal of the season on a well-
positioned corner kick.
Tennis – Girls
The team is off to an undefeated 4-0 start
beating Mainland, Atlantic City, Haddon
Township, and Absegami.
Football The Varsity football team lost their home
opener to Millville. They will travel to Lenape
in their next game.
The JV football team won their opener against
Millville by a score of 16 to 14. They will take
on Lenape at home.
Freshman Football
Freshman football traveled to the hollow
grounds of Millville High School. It was a
defensive battle between the two teams with
the bad guys breaking the 0-0 tie late in the
third quarter. On the ensuing extra point
Millville got the questionable two point
conversion to lead 8-0. Our boys had the ball
last and were driving to tie the score when
time ran out. The offensive line of James
Chancy, Kevin Adams, Christian Cericola,
Richard (Gordo) Maldonado, David Bailey
blocked well for Chris Decker to record over 75
yards rushing.
Athletic Department The fall season is off and running with all
teams having at least one game under their
belts. Come out and support the teams and
show your EHT Pride. Follow along on Twitter
