AP Students Celebrate Academic Excellence and Earn Financial Awards

Congratulations to the 2009-2010 AP students who were recently honored at the Rahway High School Advanced Placement Awards Ceremony held on August 18, 2010. Twenty-six RTHS students earned a grade of 3,4, or 5 on the May Advanced Placement Examinations in the areas of mathematics, science, and English taken by them. Overall, forty-five grades of 3 or higher were earned in all AP areas this past year. As a result of and due to the generous sponsorship of the Marianthi Foundation, an organization lead by retired Merck CEO, P. Roy Vagelos and his Associate Director and son, Andrew Vagelos, the students earned financial rewards. This evening's event was moderated by Mr. Edward Yergalonis, Superintendent of Schools. Once again, congratulations to all award winners.

They presented preliminary findings to the Rahway Board of Education, American Standard, U.S. EPA, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), and the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program.
