WAYNE, 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.

These submission comes from Roberta and from Ronald, who both nominated high school senior Ryan of Wayne. They highlighted his leadership at Mock Trial Team, his percussion playing in the Bergen Catholic Jazz Band, and was part of a select group of students interning at Holy Name Hospital.
