“Academic Leaders”
Welcome to the third annual Asbury Park Press Academic Leader special section. This section was begun specifically to honor the academic achievements of high school seniors in Monmouth and Ocean counties, although the students here also have shown dedication to their communities, the arts and athletics.
The following criteria for naming the Academic Leaders were established by the Press with input for area educators and after reviewing other recognition programs.
Principals in each high school were asked to select that school’s Academic Leader based on the following areas:
Grade Point Average
Extra-Curricular Activities
Community Service
Other Work in the Community
The Press congratulates all the Academic Leaders chosen this year. And many thanks to the principals, guidance counselors and students who were so helpful in providing this information to us.
