The spirit of inclusion and athletic achievement burned brightly in Passaic as students from Passaic High School (PHS) once again participated in the annual Special Olympics Torch Run. This inspiring event, a cornerstone of community engagement for PHS, saw students actively involved in carrying the “Flame of Hope” and raising awareness for Special Olympics New Jersey.
The Torch Run, a celebrated tradition across the state, culminates in the lighting of the cauldron at the Special Olympics New Jersey Summer Games. PHS’s participation is a testament to their commitment to service, teamwork, and supporting our students. Their dedication embodies core values of promoting citizenship and leadership while giving back to the community.
The Passaic High School community consistently demonstrates its unwavering support for the Special Olympics. Their participation in the Torch Run highlights not just physical endurance, but also the enduring power of unity, compassion, and shared purpose.
