Murtaza is a self-driven individual who is a positive contributing member of the SHS Class of 2023 and overall Stoughton Community. His academic achievement has placed him among the top in his class at SHS. Among his many academic achievements, he has made the honor roll each school year and has taken nine Advanced Placement classes, while earning the highest of grades in these classes.

Students at the O'Donnell Middle School recently took part in a month-long NCAA basketball tournament style competition called "Mammal Madness." The competition, run by Arizona State University, encourages students across the country to learn about animals and their habitats. This is the 11th year of the tournament and the third year students at OMS have participated. Students research specific animals and create information slides or battle posters to share with their classmates (we posted some examples here). They then use that information to fill out a bracket in a who-would-win simulated tournament between species. The habitat of the battlefield comes into play, and much like in the wild, species do not always fight, but one may lose by walking away, leaving the playing field, or through external interference. This year, the wolverine defeated the okapi in the championship battle. Justin Koch, who had the highest scoring bracket on team 8B, is pictured here with his trophy. Other winners for different class periods on Team 8B include: Emmanuel Saint-Hilaire, Adalynn Giunta, Carl Thompson, and Henrique Dos Santos. Congratulations!
