RBR students gathered at the recent awards program, where they were awarded varsity letters for scholarship.
At Red Bank Regional, Varsity Letters are awarded for scholarship as well as athletic achievement.
The Red Bank Regional Board of Education recently honored over 70 students for academic distinction. The largest number of honorees received an RBR Academic Letter, similar to the Varsity Letter given to student-athletes.
A number of students were recognized for national awards. Nettie Gaeta, Michael Tobin, Samuel Wasserfall, and Aron Wiener have been selected National Merit Commended Scholars. Commended Scholars represent the top 2.5 percent of the 1.5 million students who took the PSAT exam.

Julia Mancuso, Allessandra Swart, and Samuel Wasserfall were recognized as AP Scholars with Honor for earning an average score of 3.25 with scores of three or higher on four of these exams. Lucas Bonnell, Anna Cuozzo, Tess Hintelmann, Benjamin Smelas, Melissa Vuong, and Mackenzie Wood received the AP Scholar Award with average scores of three or higher on three or more AP exams.
