Just recently Asbury Park High School completed another season of competition with Esports. The competition featured Street Fighter Six, and in their first appearance, the Asbury Park High School Blue Bishops held their own, picking up some wins and taking a few losses. But they showed great effort in this first showing. Garden State Esports President Chris Aviles and Vice President Regina Schaffer continue to make this program expand into new heights with all kinds of gaming competition.

Prehistoric Man presentation at Asbury Park High School

Mr. Wronko’s honors students finished up their Prehistoric Man presentation. Their use of storytelling to explain how different forms of prehistoric man survived could give paleontologists and archaeologists something to think about in terms of how man may have evolved.

To assist with the learning, the below AI videos, generated by Mr. David Wronko’s team, were used.
