Superintendent Dr. Crater told the Neptune Township Board of Education that a Neptune High School performing group received perfect scores from all three judges at the Trills and Thrills event.

Dr. Crater also announced that Donna Ditata, a teacher at Green Grove, was named the 2025 Educator of the Year by the New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome and Associated Disorders. "Congratulations to Donna Ditata," the superintendent said.

The superintendent relayed the recognitions as part of routine district updates and did not connect either item to budget or policy actions taken by the board during the meeting.
