New Jersey Scholars Program

RHS Junior Hunter Maskin was just selected as

a Finalist for this summer's New Jersey Scholars Pro-

gram, Mind and Body: The Future of Being Hu-

man. This required an arduous application process

where only 39 applicants all over the state of New Jer-

sey will ultimately be selected.

The mission of the New Jersey Scholars Program is to

reach out to able and enthusiastic students who come

from a broad cross-section of the state’s population.

The program creates an intense, interdisciplinary intel-

lectual experience that will change students’ lives by

teaching them to think in a new way — relating disci-

plines instead of dividing them.

Euro Challenge

Five sophomore members of the RHS Finance Club

traveled to BNP Paribas in Manhattan on Friday,

March 15 to practice their Euro Challenge presenta-

tion, receive training from European economists, and

tour the trading floor at BNP Paribas. The team will

compete against schools from NY, NJ, and CT in the

preliminary round of Euro Challenge on April 2.

RHS Ambassadors

The RHS Ambassadors is a student-led organization

that helps with school events, college and parent

nights, and new students at RHS. An ambassador typi-

cally direct visitors around RHS, hands out pamphlets,

and helps with new student orientation. The experi-

ence of being an RHS Ambassador helps develop com-

munication skills, as well as a positive interaction with

the community. We are looking for sophomores and

juniors who are interested in helping.

If you are interested in becoming an RHS Ambassador,

there will be a brief informational meeting Thursday,

March 28 in Room 310 at Unit Lunch.

Need Help with Homework?

RHS National Honor Society students offer free tutor-

ing to all students every Monday—Thursday from

3:15PM-4:15PM in the Learning Commons.

Please take advantage of this service. These students

are here to help you succeed!
