ROTARY STANDS FOR EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION
May 22, 2012: The Historic Rotary Club of Charleston hosted its annual awards ceremony recognizing four Rotary High School Service Above Self Scholars (seniors) and the 2012 Charleston County Teacher of the Year and Honor Roll Teachers. The student honorees are selected based on the nominations that spotlight their top quality work in academics, athletics and community service. In the spirit of the awards, “excellence begets excellence” said award committee chair Jeremy Cook. The teacher is selected based on distinct commitment to the advancement of education in our community and a clear dedication that is in line with the club’s mission, “Service Above Self.” These awards are supported by the added generosity of contributions by The Coastal Community Foundation.
This year’s high school seniors receiving the Rotary Scholarship Awards will enter North Carolina State University, Washington and Lee, and University of Richmond.
