The Rotary Club of Everett on January 16, 2024 honored three local high school students as Rotary Students of the Month.
Each month during the school year the club recognizes and celebrates outstanding high school students in the city of Everett for their accomplishments and their promise.
 

Student of the Month from Sequoia High is Juniper Thomas, who digs deep into topics to learn more.
