Morris County School of Technology Student Selected as NJSIAA Student Ambassador

MORRIS COUNTY — Morris County Vocational School District student Duncan Felch, a member of the Academy for Education and Learning at the Morris County School of Technology, has been selected as a New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association Student Ambassador.

Felch is one of only eight students statewide chosen for the prestigious program, which brings together student-athletes from across New Jersey to collaborate, share ideas, and promote sportsmanship and leadership throughout high school athletics.

“It is an honor to have a student from the Morris County Vocational School District, specifically Morris County School of Technology, selected as an NJSIAA Student Ambassador,” said Dr. Anita Champagne, superintendent of the Morris County Vocational School District. “This is an incredible responsibility for Duncan, as he will serve as the voice of many young athletes across the State of New Jersey. I have no doubt that he will excel in this leadership role, reflecting MCVSD’s mission to inspire and prepare students to succeed. Congratulations to Duncan Felch on this esteemed accomplishment.”

In addition to his academic studies, Felch serves as president of the Class of 2027 and is active in athletics and student leadership. He competes on the varsity boys basketball team, serves as captain of the varsity boys cross-country team, and is secretary of the school’s Morris County Council.

“Being selected as an NJSIAA Student Ambassador is an incredible honor,” Felch said. “I’m excited to represent my school and peers while promoting the values of sportsmanship, leadership, and inclusion that high school athletics stand for. My role is to serve as a voice for student-athletes across New Jersey, helping to foster positive experiences on and off the court. This opportunity motivates me to lead by example and help create a lasting impact in our athletic community.”

Conor Devine, assistant principal at Morris County School of Technology, said Felch’s selection highlights both his leadership abilities and academic accomplishments.

“Duncan is a great representative of all that it takes to be a successful student-athlete in an academically rigorous environment like Morris County School of Technology,” Devine said. “It is also important to note that he is the only representative in this year’s cohort from a New Jersey Athletic Conference school, as well as the only representative selected statewide from a county vocational-technical school.”

The NJSIAA Student Ambassador Program promotes leadership in the classroom and on athletic fields, sportsmanship, health and safety awareness, and positive relationships among student-athletes, coaches, and officials. Student ambassadors provide feedback and perspectives to the NJSIAA Executive Committee and staff, helping guide future initiatives that benefit student-athletes throughout the state.
