View Students of the Month from current and past years!
From September to May, the Rotary Club of Renton honors one exceptional senior from each of the Renton School District High Schools. A selection committee of Rotary members reviews applications and interviews students. The award is given to students who participate in volunteer work in their community, possess leadership abilities, maintain a good grade-point average and participate in school activities. The students and their parents/guardians are guests at a Rotary luncheon. You only need to apply once to be considered for the recognition.
Be sure to download the Rotary Youth of the Month application and email your application to Mr. Rhodes in the Career Center.
