NEWTOWN, PA— 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 his Council Rock North family who nominated Collin of Newtown.

How do you know the star local student?

My son, his coaches and team.

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

Collin and all his coaches and team players made his dream come true as a division one pitcher for Radford University. Being a single mom, my son had the skills and GREAT COACHES!

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

He's determined. He listened to his coaches. He never gave up and is grateful to everyone from T ball to high school - and being given an opportunity at Radford. Thanks coach SCHRAM.

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