There’s Valedictorians, Salutatorians, Class Presidents, Team Captains, members of the Band and enough extra curricular activities to wonder how they fit it all into a 24-hour day. They’re going to Princeton, MIT, Boston College, Rutgers, Columbia, Michigan, Villanova, Monmouth and OCC and will major in Pre-Med, Neuroscience, Business Administration, Communications, Physics, Engineering, English, International Affairs and others. They are recipients of the WOBM/Gateway Toyota Student of the Week award, a program that’s in its 11th year of recognizing the top high school seniors in Ocean County.
Each Monday during the school year I tell you a little about these outstanding students from the 16 high schools in the county as well as the county Vocational School’s MATES program. As selected by their schools these students not only perform in the classroom but in a wide-ranging group of activities which help better their schools as well as the communities they live in. Simply put these are the best of the best and it’s a program that we at 92.7 WOBM are extremely proud of in being able to promote the positive contributions these young men and women make.
It’s a program that’s been supported by Gateway Toyota of Toms River since the 1996-97 school year and this morning Ed Sunday, Vice President and General Manager of the auto dealership randomly selected CHRISTOPHER MATTER of Point Pleasant Borough High School to receive a $1000 college scholarship from WOBM and Gateway. Christopher is ranked second in his class and is a Bloustein Scholar, Rensselaer Medal Winner in Math & Science, a member of the National and Latin Honor Societies, Interact and the Key Club. He’ll be attending Rutgers University where he’ll be a Pharmacy major. Congratulations to Christopher Matter and all of our weekly honorees.
The Student of the Week program continues until June 18th and will return in September for a 12th year.
