Islander of the Month

The purpose of the ISLANDER OF THE MONTH COMMITTEE, which falls under Vocational Service, is to honor outstanding High School Students based on scholastic achievement, school and community activities, leadership and other personal attributes and accomplishments. The program functions as follows:

• Monthly during the school year a Committee at the High School consisting of two students (Juniors), two Teachers, the school librarian and the school Principal review nominations submitted by students and select the boy and girl of the month.

• On the first Tuesday of each month, the two selected students, their parents and a teacher selected by the two honorees are invited to lunch at a regular meeting.

• After general introductions, the teacher introduces the honorees who in turn give a brief overview of their activities, interests and future plans.

Subsequently the students have pictures taken by the Mercer Island Reporter for publication.
