Northport HS Family And Consumer Science Student Of The Month

NORTHPORT, NY — Congratulations to Northport High School senior Jenna Goz, who was recently selected as the Family and Consumer Science department’s Student of the Month. While the district’s board of education was unable to publicly recognize her at its March meeting due to the new coronavirus, her accomplishment wasn't forgotten.

Goz has been involved in the early childhood education course since freshman year and has nurtured her passion for helping children – a passion that she plans to peruse in a career as a speech pathologist. Over the years, she has worked one-on-one with both 2 and 4-year olds and has described the program as the most rewarding experience of her high school career.

"When you see that you have an impact on the kids, it’s amazing," she said in a news release.

Her teachers have described Goz as having an "innate desire to help children" and expressed she will be highly successful in her career.

Throughout high school, Goz has taken IB Spanish and LEAD and is very involved in extracurricular activities such as tour and jazz choir, powdered wigs, theater troop, SHARE and Students for 60K. She furthered her love of helping others on her trips to Nicaragua during her freshman and sophomore years.
