Ramapo High School Senior Athlete Receives College Scholarship

FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J. — Ashlyn McKenna, a senior at Ramapo High School, recently received a $1,000 scholarship from ShopRite for her accomplishments on and off the field.

McKenna was one of 217 high school student-athletes honored by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association with $172,000 in college scholarships.

McKenna was vice president of the schools’ DECA club, and won the girls pentathlon championship at the Bergen County Championships in February, The Record reported.

Each NJSIAA member high school selected one senior as their student-athlete of the year. Those students then attended the luncheon where their names were randomly selected to receive a scholarship.

More than $17,000 was awarded to 22 Bergen County student-athletes at the luncheon.
