Carteret, NJ – Mayor Dan Reiman, the Borough Council and students, faculty, and staff from Carteret High School joined with residents on Friday, September 12th, to dedicate a portion of Washington Avenue to the school’s many athletic teams, pep bands, and affiliated organizations. From Louis Street to Hermann Avenue was dubbed “Rambler Way” by Mayor Reiman, in recognition of the Carteret Ramblers who have won various State Championship titles.
“Anyone who knows Carteret knows we are a town dedicated to the kids,” Mayor Reiman said, “and to their development. It’s suitable that the welcome mat to Carteret High School be dedicated to such an important part of our history, and to the many youths who have demonstrated their commitment to healthy competition, self-challenge, perseverance, and achievement.”
At the ceremony held on-location at the corner of Washington Avenue and Louis Street, Mayor Reiman and Principal Lamonte Repollet gave presentations to the entire Carteret High School student body, including the uniformed girls and boys soccer teams, football team, tennis team, cheerleaders, and marching band. New “Rambler Way” street signs and Rambler banners were unveiled.
