East Haven Rotary Club Names its Student of the Month for September

Press Release from East Haven Rotary Club

The East Haven Rotary Club recently honored its first Student of the Month recipient for the 2024-’25 academic year. The September Student of the Month is Elijah Dunaj, who was chosen from the Science Department.

Dunaj is a member of the Creative Club, the Boy Scouts of America Troop 404, Boy Scouts Ship 100, and the East Haven High School (EHHS) marching band. Dunaj’s future plans include college and a career in astrophysics.

Each month, the East Haven Rotary Club recognizes a student from the junior class at EHHS. The club makes these presentations at Superintendent Erica Forti’s monthly, district-wide Students of the Month Assembly which takes place in the Media Center at the high school on the last Friday of the month. The club presents each honoree with a certificate, a Rotary commemorative coin, and a check for $100. Each winner then becomes eligible for the $1,000 Jack Leary Memorial Scholarship which will be awarded at the end of their senior year. The club, now in its 86th year, was organized on March 3, 1939.
