Rotary International is an international service organization whose stated purpose is to bring together business and professional leaders in order to provide humanitarian services, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. The Rotary Club of Greene and Putnam Counties provides recognition for outstanding high school students. Each month they recognize a Gatewood senior for their excellence in the classroom.
Rotarians understand the importance of our community’s youth.
Guided by this understanding the membership established a student recognition program. A program that recognizes achievement, leadership and helps to support high school students in their transition to higher education.
During the months of September through May, high school senior students are voted on by faculty based upon their:
- Academic Standing
- Extra Curricular Activities
- Community Involvement
- Leadership and Service to Others
After the student is selected, they in return choose a teacher that has made an impact on their life. This person can be someone that has taught them K-12 grades.
