State Senator Raymond Lesniak Speaks to Students at FTHS
Students in the Global Studies Learning Center at Freehold Township High School recently heard from state Senator Raymond Lesniak when he stopped by the school on Oct. 26.
The Senator spoke about the Legislative process at the state level, as well as other topics including environmental and animal rights issues, for which he is an advocate.
Senator Lesniak has been a member of New Jersey’s Legislature since 1978. He has served as a Senator since 1983. He currently chairs the Senate Economic Growth Committee, serves as Vice Chair of the Senate Commerce Committee, and is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The Global Studies Learning Center is an intensive study of world regions, international challenges, cultures, governments, and economies. The rapid pace of globalization means that future graduates will need a more expansive study of the world, and how the United States fits into it. Students with an interest in history, international development, diplomacy, and world order will be challenged with an accelerated and unique curriculum within the comprehensive high school, studying human geography, international relations, comparative government and politics, and international law. The program’s goal is to develop a sense of responsibility to the world community and an understanding of what it means to be an active global citizen.
