Seniors – Rotary Youth of the Month
September to May the Renton Rotary honors one exceptional senior from each of the Renton High Schools. A selection committee of Rotary members reviews applications and interview students.

The students and their parents are guests at a Rotary luncheon. Deadline to apply for the year was October 15. You only need to apply once.
