In his free time A.J. enjoys being outdoors, particularly hiking, as well as writing and making films.
A.J., whose favorite subject is chemistry, plans to attend college after graduation but has not yet decided on a major. He has been accepted to Penn State and the University of Pittsburgh, and his other choices included Drexel University and Juniata College.
Nicole, daughter of Wendy and Phillip Morlang, is a member of National Honor Society, the Science National Honor Society, serving as treasurer, and the Helping Hands community service club.
