The Rotary Club of Lake Forest Park recognized eleven Shorecrest High School students at a celebratory program on May 28, 2025 for their outstanding community service and commitment to the Club’s motto “Service Above Self. Each awardee received $1,000 as a contribution to their higher education costs.

The program was held during the Club’s weekly meeting at Lake Forest Park Presbyterian Church and included family members, Supt. Susana Reyes, Shorecrest Principal Chad Towe, Shorecrest Interact Advisor Jacqui Drew, and Career & College Counselor Mario Orallo.

Several students also participated in Interact, Rotary’s high school service club.
