Local Students Win Rotary Four-Way Test Essay Contest

May 6, 2013

Four North Escambia students were recognized as winners in the  annual Rotary Four-Way Test Essay Contest by the Suburban West Rotary Club.

Grand prize winner was Jessica Amerson of Northview High School, a student of Raja Atallah. She received a $500 prize. Other finalists, all from Tate High School, were first runner-up Noah Hintz (teacher Linda Leggett), Honya Richbourg (teacher Stephanie Tompkins) and Eion Blanchard (teacher Linda Leggett).

The Four-Way Test Essay Contest is open to all Escambia County high school students, with each participant writing a short essay on the topic “Why is the Rotary Four-Way Test relevant today?”. The Four-Way Test is used by Rotarians to encourage value-driven, ethical behavior at work, at home and in the community.

During a recent luncheon, the winners read their essays to the club and were presented with certificates of achievement and cash prizes.
