Rotary Club of Monongahela recognizes RHS students
The Rotary Club of Monongahela recognized Ringgold High School seniors Sarah Lucas and Sarah Hetzler as the Students of the Month for November and December, respectively. Students are selected based upon excellence in any one or more of the following areas: academic, athletics, arts, or community service.
Lucas, of Carroll Township, is a daughter of Anna and Michael Lucas. She is a three-season athlete who runs for the Ringgold cross country and track teams. She holds school records in the indoor 800-meter run, indoor 1-mile run and the outdoor 800-meter run. She qualified for the 2106 PIAA Cross Country Championships.
Serving as a counselor for the Ringgold Cross Country Camp enabled her to share her love of running with younger runners. As a volunteer for the South Hills Miracle League, she enjoyed working with disabled children, which is her career goal. She plans to attend college to study biology and psychology to pursue a career as a pediatric occupational therapist.
Hetzler, of Monongahela, is a daughter of Rob and Shelly Hetzler. Music is a significant part of Sarah’s life. She plays the piano, harp, clarinet, steel drums, marimba and tenor saxophone.
Sarah served as drum major for the marching band and participates in the school’s concert band, jazz band, harp ensemble, indoor percussion and musical orchestra pit. She also sings in the youth choir at her church.
Teaching Sunday School lessons to younger children in her church is her favorite community service activity. Hetzler plans to attend college to study music education, although she has not yet decided on a college.
Chartered in 1921, the Rotary Club of Monongahela welcomes prospective members and guests to attend one of its weekly meetings, which are held at noon Thursdays at noon at Hill’s Restaurant in Monongahela.
