During the January 18, 2019 meeting, Rotarian Mike Brown introduced the January Character Count students, Jayauna Tyler and Anthony Parker.
 
Jayauna Tyler:
 
Jayauna is a star student, and continues to shine with her gracious presence. When you are around this young lady, she will make you smile!  Jayauna has a 3.9 GPA and takes College Credit Plus courses, as well as honors and advanced classes.
 
Jayauna’s talents do not just show in the classroom, but on the stage as well. Jayauna is involved in community theatre and watching her on stage is a joy. She commits herself to many hours of rehearsal, plus her rigorous coursework. She recently performed as a cast member of the Christmas Carol production at the Players Guild.  She is currently the President of the Teen Board at the Canton Repository, Secretary of Women of Honor, and a Speech and Debate state qualifier. She also is an active member in National Honor Society, Student Council, Key Club, and Upward Bound. Jayauna is also a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.  
 
Next year, Jayauana’s plan are to go into the military, as a member of the Air Force to serve her country. The Air Force will serve as her platform for education, and aspirations for the future. When she returns she would like to study performing arts.
 
 
 
Anthony Parker
 
Anthony Parker is a young man full of drive, ambition, and determination. Anthony currently ranks number 14 in a class of 496 and constantly pushes himself academically with Honors, Advanced Placement, and College Credit Plus coursework. Aside from his academic accomplishments, Anthony is also heavily involved with the following activities: Speech and Debate (Debate Captain), Model United Youth Council (at-large representative), and National Honor Society. Anthony is held in high regard by peers and staff alike and he will do exceptionally well when he moves on to The Ohio State University this fall.
