Students in top 20 percent receive honors

The Exchange Club of Lake Highlands presented its monthly student awards to four Lake Highlands High School (LHHS) students at its February 14 meeting. Character counts awards are presented each month to two students who display outstanding character traits at school and in the community. Youth of the Month awards go to students who excel in academics and leadership and are in the top 20 percent of the senior class. Pictured, from left to right, are: John Torres, Exchange vice president; Character Counts award recipients Samuel Miller and Emily Fernandez; Youth of the Month recipients Deborah Burroughs and Treyson West; and LHHS Principal Kerri Jones. The Exchange Club meets each Friday morning at 7 a.m. at the Knights of Columbus Hall. For membership information, visit lhexchangeclub.org. — Don Lee
