TUCSON KINO ROTARY
CHARACTER AWARDS
On November 18, the Tucson Kino Rotary Club honored nine area high school students with Character Awards. Awardees are nominated by school administrators, counselors, teachers, or other students.
The Tucson Kino Rotary Club established the Spring and Fall Character Awards in 2011 to honor high school students who serve as role models in their schools and in society via service to the community.
This Fall, the Character Award Recipients are:
- Samuel Carrillo, PPEP TEC High School
- Esteban Macias, Desert View High School
- Hakima Abdulkadir, Sunnyside High School
- Dominic Ariaza, Alta Vista High School
- Aritza Monge Morales, Pueblo Magnet High School
- Isabel Garcia, Star Academic High School
- Cecilia Antone, Baboquivari High School
- Serene Matus, Cholla High School*
- Mark Cordova, Toltecalli High School*
*Schools added for Fall, 2022
The students were recognized at a community breakfast attended by family and representatives from each school. Each honoree received a Certificate of Recognition, a Rotary 4-Way Test coin, and a $50 gift card. In addition, Tucson Kino Rotary will donate $25 to a charity of each student’s choice.
