Little Silver student admitted to Ivy League university

Red Bank Regional High School student Luke Roskowinski of Little Silver has been accepted to the Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia through the early decision process.

Roskowinski served as his graduating class’s President for the first two years of high school before he was elected to his current position of Student Council President, which he has held for the past two years.

Roskowsinski is a Student-to-Student Leader, a Peer Mediator, President of the Math League, a member of the Science League and a founding member of the Culinary Club. His academic honors include membership in the National and Spanish Honor Societies, the latter of which he serves as Executive Director for.

This spring, Roskowinski will star as “Sir Studley” in RBR’s musical production of Once Upon A Mattress.

Other RBR students currently celebrating acceptance into selective Ivy League institutions include Kiana Robinson of Fair Haven, who will study liberal arts at Columbia University in New York City.

Robinson is a Creative Writing major with the RBR Visual and Performing Arts department, as well as a four-year honor student, a Student-to-Student Peer Leader, Vice President of the French Honor Society, Poetry Editor of the Crow’s Nest student publication and a member of the English Honor Society.

Robinson served on the Student Council for three years, and the French Club for four years, but her most coveted activity is Co-President of BACA (Black American Cultural Association) where she organized and participated in a special African-American Awareness program for Black History Month during her junior year.

Through the club, Robinson has encouraged other black students to challenge themselves in taking the most rigorous courses their high school offers.

Both students are children of RBR staff members: Peter Roskowinski is RBR’s culinary teacher, and Erika Robinson is an Advanced Placement English teacher.
