SENIOR OF THE MONTH

Each month from October to February, the Kiawah-Seabrook Exchange Club honors two students at their bi-monthly meeting where the students give a speech to the members.  One senior is elected from Charleston Collegiate and one is elected from St. John's High School.  The faculty selects the students based on their academic achievements and overall positive contributions to the school community, and we are proud to announce the winners from October, November, and December:  Stuart Bowers, Sydney Bertsch, and Tyler Swain.  This special award automatically makes the students eligible for the Exchange Club's "Youth of the Year," which awards a scholarship at the local and the national levels.  Congratulations to Johnna Menke, the January Youth of the Month.
