RBR Looking To Community For Distinguished Alumni Nominees
By John Burton
LITTLE SILVER - For the past seven years, the Red Bank Regional High School Education Foundation has observed a warm tradition of honoring its most distinguished alumni.
The honor includes an invitation to visit the high school where the honorees tour the facility with our principal and meet our faculty and students. For those honorees, particularly those that have actually attended the original high school building, the new facility is quite an interesting adventure. The tour culminates in a special reception for the honorees where RBR's creative writing students celebrate their lives in prose and and/or poetry composed from submitted biographies. Later that evening the alumni are additionally honored in the presence of their family and friends at an elegant dinner hosted by the Education Foundation.
To date, over 70 individuals have received this honor including, successful business men and women, philanthropic community members, long standing public servants, community service leaders, exceptional Red Bank Regional educators and tireless volunteers. The nomination for this honor has come to us, primarily by word of mouth through networking among our foundation committee members. We are hoping that members of the community may know of someone truly worthy of this honor and may choose to nominate that person for distinguished alumni consideration.
The only criterion for submission is that the nominee graduated from Red Bank Regional High School (RBR) at least 15 years ago or from its predecessor, Red Bank High School, which was located at the current Red Bank Middle School property. With a rich history that dates back to 1906, there are potentially many distinguished alumni to honor.
All nominations should be sent to Superintendent Dr. Edward Westervelt by e-mailing Ewestervelt@rbrhs.org, calling (732) 842-8000 ext. 1240, 1247 or writing to The Red Bank Regional School District, 101 Ridge Road, Little Silver, N.J. 07739
