Craig School’s 1st Day of Giving: Thank You!

Thank you to everyone who participated in our first-ever Proud of Our Past. Building Craig’s Future. Day of Giving.

Thank you to those who made a gift, shared our message, and helped spread the word, and to our faculty, staff, alumni, parents, and friends who brought this new effort to life.

Your participation showed the strength of the Craig community. Twenty-five percent of donors were giving to Craig for the first time, and together our participation unlocked the $10,000 challenge gift.

The spirit of the Craig community continues to help our students grow, discover their strengths, and thrive.

Thank you for showing what our community can do.

CHS Alumni Spotlight Class of 2022, Jaiden 

It’s always special to hear from our alumni, and just recently, Jaiden from the CHS Class of 2022 reached out and shared an update on his college adventures. 

Jaiden is in his third year at Kean University in Union, NJ, where he’s pursuing his Bachelor’s degree in Psychology.  Kean is New Jersey’s first public post-secondary institution (founded in 1855) and is considered a premier urban research university. It is located in Union, NJ, and is known as a "campus within a city", offering easy access to New York. 

 Jaiden has made Kean’s Dean's List regularly, earning him an invitation to join Kean University’s national honor society dedicated to supporting and recognizing neurodivergent college students.  

When not immersed in his college courses, Jaiden is an active member of the NeuroAllies Club, a new campus club focused on neurodiversity awareness. Their purpose is to educate the Kean community about issues affecting autistic and neurodivergent individuals. 

Looking ahead, Jaiden plans to wrap up his BA in Psychology and pursue a Master’s degree and become a school psychologist. He shared that he definitely has his hands full—but that everything is going great. We couldn’t be prouder. Craig High is cheering you on, Jaiden!
