Students of the Month is a service project of the Rotary Club of Roselle-Roselle Park honoring a senior from each of the high schools in Roselle and Roselle Park, including Roselle Park High School and Roselle’s Abraham Clark High School and Roselle Catholic High School. Each student receives a personalized plaque commemorating the occasion, a gift card to Barnes and Noble and an opportunity to speak to the group outlining their service to school and community and their academic successes.
The project is coordinated by Rotarian Sarah Costa, Principal of Roselle Park High School. Rotarian Julie Pinho created the program for the Rotary club years ago. Courtney Washington shepherded the program through the Covid Pandemic. Current Rotary President continues the tradition.
