MARLBORO-COLTS NECK, NJ — Star Students are found in classrooms, on concert and theater stages and at debate lecterns, and out in the community doing good things to make life better for all of us.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize Star Students, and we’re working to tell the stories of these outstanding kids to their neighbors.

This submission comes from Maria Greenstein who nominated Andrew, BA, of the Marlboro area.

Andrew has graduated from college and will be a Social Studies teacher. His research about New Jersey's history as a slave state is indicative of his pursuit of knowledge and truth, Maria says.

How do you know the star local student?

He is my son.

Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?

Andrew conducted historical research for his capstone project. He made discoveries that turned the narrative of his paper, and shed light on New Jersey's forgotten history as a slave state.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?

As Andrew begins his career as a Social Studies teacher, his future students are so fortunate to be on the receiving end of his continuous pursuit of knowledge, history, and the truth.
