The following is an edited press release from Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School:

Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) students were recently recognized by the Board of Education for their academic and athletic achievements.

“It is becoming increasingly commonplace for us to begin our meetings here in the auditorium to accommodate all of the students who are accomplishing amazing things,” RFH Superintendent Peter Righi told the assembled students, parents, coaches, and club advisors at the April 14 Board of Education meeting. “The certificates awarded tonight are not just another piece of paper – they have a much deeper meaning as the ‘end game’ result of a lot of hard work.”

Students honored were:

• junior Hannah Stamer, who won the President’s Volunteer Service Award for many hours spent working with Hand-in-Hand Autism Services;

• juniors Colin Courchesne and Kiera McKay, who were accepted into the highly selective Governor’s School of New Jersey summer programs for Engineering and Science, respectively;
