Each year the Peekskill Rotary Club recognizes exceptional graduating seniors from Hendrick Hudson, Peekskill and Walter Panas High Schools with Academic and Fellowship awards. Recipients are selected by high school counselors and club representatives.
The Academic Award of $500 goes to the highest academic achiever, the valedictorian, of each graduating class. The Fellowship Award of $500 is given to students not only with high academic achievement, but also demonstrated leadership among students. Perhaps they are the class president, run the school newspaper, are active in community outreach programs or Interact club membership, or have other distinguishing characteristics.
