Our top two seniors were honored guests at a meeting of the Rotary Club of Southside Corpus Christi. A few years ago two Rotary Club members visited with Guidence Counselor Ted Garcia about partnering with our school in recognizing two different outstanding students monthly at one of their weekly meetings. Later the partnership led to establishing our Rotary Interact Club under the sponsorship of the Rotary Club of Southside Corpus Christi. Our Rotary Interact Club has provided members with opportunities for learning and enhancing leadership skills and for service projects. We have been involved in building wheel chair ramps, in volunteering at construction sites for Habitat for Humanity, in taking gifts to the ARK Assessment Center & Shelter for Youth, and in taking gifts to women's shelters in our area.
At Wednesday's Rotary Club meeting I presented Bridget Lee Sang and Alexandria Serna as our valedictorian and salutatorian. The girls spoke about their high school experiences and their future plans. Bridget and Alexandria are absolutely amazing young ladies and we have been blessed with their presence in our school community the last four years.
