Marlboro High School Wins County Consumer Bowl

MARLBORO, NJ — Marlboro High School finished victorious in the 2022 Monmouth County Consumer Bowl, a game show-style competition that tests students' knowledge of consumer-related information on Wednesday, Feb. 16, according to county official, Christopher M. Orlando.

Teams from Freehold Township High School, Howell High School, Manalapan High School, Marlboro High School, and Raritan High School competed. These students were tested on their understanding of consumer issues such as new and used car sales, health clubs, internet fraud, telemarketing, and other topics, said Orlando.

“The annual Consumer Bowl is a beneficial way for our high school students to learn how to use their money wisely and learn to protect themselves from scammers,” said County Commissioner Lillian G. Burry, liaison to the County’s Division of Consumer Affairs. “This competition is a friendly contest between the County high school students, which highlights the priorities of the County’s Consumer Affairs Office, which are to enforce consumer laws and to protect consumers from fraud.”

Marlboro ultimately won and will advance to the Central Regional Competition, which will be held on April 28. The Central Regional Competition winner will advance to the 2022 New Jersey State Consumer Bowl, which will be held in Trenton in May.

Team members from Marlboro High School include Jason Nemiron (captain), Harris Palouse, Emma Corbin, Benjamin Katz, Taylor Chavis (alternate). Their teachers and advisors are Nicole Bendik and Patrick Scinto.
