Congratulations to 19 Piscataway High School seniors who earned Commended Student status in the 2026 National Merit Scholarship Program!

Children’s Corner Preschool teacher Amalia Berrocal used her artistic talents and technological know-how to transform a second-floor hallway at the Old New Brunswick Road building into CCPK Main Street. Ms. Berrocal led a team of teachers in creating a whimsical, coloring-book-style mural to brighten up the hallway and spark children’s imagination. CCPK Main Street features a house, a store, a restaurant, a hospital, a pet store, a firehouse, and preschool, and a campground. It invites student interaction by mirroring the community mainstays that students learn about in class. Berrocal blended technology with art by first creating the design on a tablet, then using Meta Quest AR Goggles to paint the design precisely onto the wall. She led a dedicated team of teachers – Brenda Reyes, Brianna Berrocal, and Shruti Ramchandra-Kulkarni – in creating the mural. Supplies were paid for by the Children’s Corner PTO.

The PHS football program honored one of its most accomplished alumni on Friday night, Oct. 3, when it celebrated 2005 graduate Kyle Wilson at halftime of their game against Sayreville. Wilson, who went on to excel in college at Boise State University and became a first-round NFL draft pick of the New York Jets, was surrounded on the field by family members, Piscataway Township Schools officials and Board of Education members, and the PHS cheerleaders, who held up a banner of his No. 22 jersey and broke into a spontaneous cheer of “We are proud of you!” The Chiefs’ record while Wilson played was 33-3, as he helped the team win three consecutive state sectional championships in 2002, 2003, and 2004. “Pway Nation, stand up for Kyle Wilson!” Hall of Fame PHS head football coach Dan Higgins exhorted the crowd during the ceremony.

Congratulations to the PHS Superchiefs Marching Band on their 46th Annual Band Festival. On Saturday, Oct. 4, the student musicians hosted 13 bands from across the state in competition, then capped off the show with their own exhibition. The event was a huge success thanks to band director Ken Zampella and the Superchief staff, the Band Parents Association, and volunteers.
