POINT PLEASANT, 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 Richard Marinelli, who nominated his daughter, Emily, of Point Pleasant.

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

Emily, who is a sophomore in high school, is an honor student, a two-sport athlete and a leader.

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

She is a hard worker and a self-motivator, a leader in the class and in her sports.

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Emily!
