Toms River High School East Class of 2019

Have a plan in life. Set high expectations for yourself and commit to

the steps it takes to reach your goal. Don’t fear failure — all failure is simp-

ly a process to success. As you move forward, appreciate the importance of

doing your best and do it with integrity. You will be surprised how far you

will go by simply being kind to others. I expect the best from you all. Make

our East community proud!
