Student Craftmanship
Chris Calderon, 10th grade, created a unique project that utilized traditional craftsmanship as well as digital fabrication. Chris designed a martial arts belt display, featuring his name in Japanese and a CNC engraved dragon. This challenging project required Chris to use nearly every tool in the woodshop! Chris opted for traditional joinery which focuses on tight tolerances, glue, and wood strength rather than nails or screws. He used SketchUp (an online CAD tool) to create his design. Chris's work is an example of what students can achieve when they are willing to learn new techniques.

Algebra II Articulation
Recently, Boonton High School hosted a statewide Algebra II articulation, welcoming more than thirty mathematics teachers from nearly twenty schools throughout New Jersey. The session provided educators with an opportunity to collaborate on topics including curriculum, assessment, pacing, technology integration, and strategies for supporting today’s Algebra II students. Through both whole-group and breakout discussions, teachers shared successful practices and common challenges across districts. One participant shared that it was “great to hear what other districts are teaching, the challenges they are experiencing, and the strategies they are using to address them,” while another noted that the session helped them build connections with colleagues they now feel comfortable reaching out to for support and collaboration.
