Congratulations, Toms River HS South Grad Ryan Newman

TOMS RIVER, NJ — The high school seniors of 2021 have had an experience like no other in a century — a year upended by a pandemic and by lockdowns that kept them from enjoying many of the activities that previous seniors have taken for granted.

Patch hopes to help make it up to those seniors by giving them a special sendoff. We asked parents and other family members to pay tribute to this year’s grads using a special submission form so we can publish those tributes one by one.

Ryan Newman will graduate from Toms River HS South.

Plans after graduation: will be attending Kean at Ocean beginning summer 2021 majoring in history secondary education

Accomplishments: Eagle Scout, graduating OCC with Associates degree in Public Service BEFORE graduating high school, Varsity Bowler, Jazz Band and Orchestra member, National Honor Society.

Special message: We are so proud of all you have accomplished and the special young man you have become.
