GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS
GEORGIA CAMPBELL
She was sponsored by her grandfather, Don “Doc” Campbell.
Georgia graduated from Canton High School in Massachusetts. At the time of her application, she had a 4.3 GPA in a College Preparatory Program that included several Advanced Placement courses. Her experience included working as a Lifeguard, a Soccer Coach, babysitter and at a Skating Rink. Georgia also participated in several activities as a volunteer, among them are assisting a local Food Pantry, leading craft sessions for children, fund-raising for a veteran group, and making paracord lanyards to distribute among US soldiers along with letters of gratitude and encouragement.
Georgia was chosen to lead as a National Charity League Vice President of Leadership, a class representative in her high school, and Varsity Soccer and Hockey Captain in high school sports.
Georgia will be a freshman at Skidmore College this fall.
CHASE KOTULA
He was sponsored by Tom Niller.
Chase graduated from Portage High School in Wisconsin. At the time of his application, Chase had the self-awareness that an academic career was not the best fit for his strengths which include problem-solving, customer service and communication. He was lucky to have an opportunity to work with a plumber/electrician in HVAC and during that experience, Chase realized his calling. Chase also worked as a sales associate in a Walmart electronics department and spent a summer in maintenance and grounds work at apartment complexes.
Chase played soccer in high school and was nominated by his peers to Team Captain his senior year. He also was on the tennis team. During his 4 years in the KEY Club, Chase volunteered at a food pantry, homeless shelter, and VFW concert nights.
He has also been accepted into the National Society of High School Scholars.
Chase will attend Madison College this fall.
