RB Sunrise Rotary Selects Eric Matthews as Abraxas Student of the Month

As part of its ongoing partnership with Abraxas High School, the Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary Club announced their Student Of The Month award for September 2011 at this past week’s breakfast meeting.

The presentation to Eric Matthews was made by principal Rudy Casciato, teacher Keith Leighton and Rotarian Trudy Armstrong.

“Here was a guy who had dropped out of school,” explained Leighton to the room of 50+ professionals. “Now he’s back into everything that school has to offer, is doing great things, and is earning credits right and left towards graduation.”

“Eric will be attending motorcycle maintenance school in Arizona upon graduation,” his teacher proudly announced.
