Students of the Month

Student of the Month is a program that honors outstanding seniors from West Seattle high school programs five or six times during the school year. Each program chooses a student who excels in numerous areas such as academics, leadership, and community engagement. The award exemplifies the commitment that Rotarians have to the community by encouraging achievement and fostering the development of future leaders.

The students along with family, counselors and others important in her or his life are all guests of the Rotary Club of West Seattle at its award luncheon. Each student gives a short talk about his or her accomplishments and aspirations and receives information about scholarships and a gift from the club.

Students of the Month qualify to apply for Student of the Year scholarships, each year totaling around $10,000.

The high school programs responsible for the selection of the students are

• Chief Sealth International High School
