2 BOISE ROTARY CENTURY SCHOLARS PROGRAM TUESDAY APRIL 10 2018 Welcome to the Boise Rotary Century Scholars Program Welcome to the thirteenth annual Boise Rotary Century Scholars Program This very special event is being sponsored by three of the Treasure Valley s Rotary Clubs and other community supporters to recognize the exceptional value our entire community places on high academic achievement Our celebration has also received strong sponsorship support from the community in the form of other grants and in kind services During the evening of Tuesday April 10th 2018 our invited audience of hundreds will gather in the Jordan Ballroom at Boise State University to applaud the accomplishments of the top 100 graduating seniors the Century Scholars from Boise s public and non public high schools Cream of the crop student achievers from Bishop Kelly Boise Borah Capital Frank Church Riverstone Sage and Timberline high schools will be profiled and honored by family friends and representatives of our community s business government civic education and service sectors Each student being recognized has substantially exceeded the minimum program grade point average requirement of 3 75 and represents the best in music the arts service to community athletics and academics in each of our high schools Our honorees also serve as role models for younger siblings and other students throughout Boise who look to them for leadership and guidance In addition to the 100 Boise Rotary Century Scholars being recognized every student will be accompanied by an educator they have selected as having significant influence on their academic development during their school career These influential teachers and counselors represent the many talented and dedicated educators throughout our community who are committed to the ongoing success of all students Each educator will be honored during the program along with the student who selected them For the program s main speaker the planning committee has once again identified an individual who graduated from one of the Boise Area high schools and went on to achieve success in education career and life Our 2018 program will feature Riverstone International School alumni Kathryn Thornton Balleh to deliver the Distinguished Alumnus Address You can read more about Kathryn and her accomplishments on page 14 Some might ask why would the Rotary Clubs of Boise want to sponsor such an event as the Century Scholar Program Our answer is quite simple Our students are our future Encouraging them in their pursuit of excellence brings value and the promise of leadership to our community This program provides us the opportunity to recognize the attainment of excellence by the top 100 of this class of Boise s graduating seniors It also allows us the opportunity to reward and honor representative educators who have played such a major role in the success of each of our students With all the attention being paid to high school graduates going on to college we thought it would be important to share with you how last year s Century Scholars are doing The college going rate of the 2017 Boise Rotary Century Scholars stands at 95 well above Idaho s average college going rate of 46 8 These percentages are for students who graduated from high school and then attended 2 or 4 year colleges the next fall semester I think you ll agree that is an impressive college going rate In addition the schools they are attending include the top schools in our country everything from Stanford and Santa Clara on the West Coast to Harvard Georgetown and Penn in the East with other excellent schools in between such as Notre Dame and Michigan Rotary is all about the development of leadership and service above self Boise s Rotarians believe that the greatest value of the Century Scholars Program is in recognizing students who are striving to be leaders and also applaud the dedication of our educators and the critical role they play in helping students grow as learners and as people The well being of our city state nation and world is dependent upon the minds and hearts of those we honor in this year s Boise Rotary Century Scholars Program and those who will follow after them From our vantage point we are in good hands and our future looks bright Thanks for being a part of this memorable event
