Camden County To Honor Gloucester Township Students Virtually

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — Students from Gloucester Township schools are among the 211 seniors who will be honored by Camden County this week as “Best of Class 2020” award recipients, officials announced on Monday.

The annual ceremony can’t be held in person due to the coronavirus pandemic. Students are honored in seven categories, and a video for each category will be posted on the county’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages.

“We are incredibly proud to recognize seniors from every high school in Camden County who have shown an unbelievable commitment to academic achievement as well as to the betterment of their community,” Camden County Freeholder Deputy Director Ed McDonnell said. “Although we could not hold our annual ceremony this year due to the pandemic, we are excited to honor these students virtually, so that they may share their accomplishments with their friends and family.”
