The Rotary Club of North Atlanta (RCNA), sponsor of the Chamblee Interact Club, recently awarded three college scholarships to outstanding senior students and members of the Chamblee Charter High School Interact Club.

The three students selected for the scholarship awards were chosen primarily for their service to their fellow students, their teachers, and the community, and secondarily for academic achievement.
Dr. Ralph Peeler, President of the RCNA, noted:
“These students have positively impacted their schools and communities, exemplifying Rotary’s motto of “Service Above Self.” In recognition of their outstanding attributes and achievements, our club is awarding each a college scholarship. Our hope is that these gifts will encourage them to continue good works during the next phase of their education.”
