The East Haven Rotary Club recently honored its last Student of the Month recipients for the 2023-’24 academic year.
The April Student of the Month is Brandom Santos from the art department. Santos is a member of the AMA Raptors Wrestling Club and would like to attend a college to study art.
Evan Martinez from the music/drama department is the May Student of the Month. Martinez participates in both the drama and the media clubs. His future plans are to become an electrician with the hope to pursue his dream of becoming an actor.
Alexa Heaphy is the final Student of the Month for this academic year. Heaphy has been a three-year starter on the East Haven High School (EHHS) softball team, being named the captain in her junior year. She also plays on the volleyball team and participates in a number of clubs, including the Southern Connecticut Conference Spring Sports Captains Council and the National Honor Society, in addition to serving as president of the Class of 2025 during her freshman and sophomore years. Heaphy plans to attend a college on the East Coast and major in business or health science.
Each month, the Rotary recognizes a student from the EHHS junior class. The club makes these presentations at Superintendent Erica Forti’s monthly, district-wide Students of the Month Assembly, which takes place on the last Friday of the month in the media center at the high school. The East Haven Rotary Club presents each honoree with a certificate, a Rotary commemorative coin, and a check for $100. Winners then become eligible for the $1,000 Jack Leary Memorial Scholarship to be awarded at the end of their senior year. The club, now in its 86th year, was organized on March 3, 1939.
