Publications in The Coaster Newspaper and a Broadcasting Program

Asbury Park High School recently had been featured in three issues of The Coaster. One issue for the month of February, March, and April. The February issue featured awards being given to Dr. Medina, Asbury Park High School principal, and Mr. Wronko from the VFW post. March’s issue dealt with Asbury Park High School starting an Esports program. Finally, the April issue dealt with a broadcasting program being established for the students known as Week in Review. 

The Asbury Park High School Week in Review is a student-led broadcast highlighting the weekly events and happenings at Asbury Park High School. Each week, different students are selected or volunteer to report the news, ensuring a fresh and diverse perspective. Notably, two of our episodes have been bilingual, featuring both English and Spanish to reach a broader audience. This initiative was created by Mrs. Christine Hayes-Schneider, the Student Activity Coordinator, to engage students and keep the school community informed.

Please enjoy this week’s Week in Review video! This week our students interviewed Vietnam Veteran, Commander Walter V. Reed. Thank you to Mr. Wronko for inviting him to our school. Hope that you enjoy our long conversation about Mr. Reed’s service in the Vietnam War as well as our student news after his interview.
