Rotary Academic All-Stars Named, Chief Justice Encourages Students To Follow God
May 12, 2017
The Atmore Rotary Club recognized 132 area high school students as Academic All-Stars Thursday night as the chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court encouraged the students to follow God.
The Academic All-Star program is open to students who attend Northview High School, Atmore Christian School, Escambia County High School or Escambia Academy. To be named an Academic All-Star, a student must have maintained at least a B average in every subject for each grading period of the school year, with at least one A for each grading period.
Those who have maintained this status from the 9th through the 12th grades, were honored as Four-Year Academic All-Stars (pictured top) and received a scholarship.
The Randolph B. Luttrell, Sr.Scholarship, valued at $2,000, was presented to Jade Adams of Escambia County High School. The Mary Joyner Grissett Memorial Scholarship, also for $2,000, was presented to Zian Young of Escambia County High School.
All total, more than $17,000 in scholarships were awarded by the Atmore Rotary Club Thursday night at the First Baptist Church of Atmore.

Guest speaker for the event was Atmore native Lyn Stuart, who was appointed April 26 by Gov. Kay Ivey as chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court. Stuart was first elected as a member of the Alabama Supreme Court in 2000.
“I want you to know that you can do anything that you want to do with God’s help,” Stuart said as she related her personal story of growing up in Atmore to becoming chief justice. “It does not matter where you are from or who your family is, whether you are rich or poor….with God’s help you can do anything you want to do.”
“It is never too late to have goals or make plans,” she said.
“You need to ask God for help with whatever plans or goals you may have, and you need to allow Him to help you get through the tough times in life,” Stuart continued before reading from Philippians 4.
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me–put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you,” the Chief Justice read from the Bible.
“Have high visions; have high goals,” Stuart said. “I wish you the best, the very, very best…with God’s help, you can accomplish anything you can dream.”

I’m good with being the person my dog thinks I am
Wow! With all the negativity that young people hear, this is a breath of fresh air to breath life into a group of hard working and determined young people. It is great to hear someone telling our youth they are responsible for their life and can accomplish anything with Gods help. No words about the establishment being against you and holding you back. Nothing but positive reinforcement to help propel them into the future. As a parent of Rotary Academic All-stars I would like to say a big thank you to all the people that make this possible each year, and thank you Alabama Chief Justice Lyn Stuart for taking the time and not being afraid to speak with conviction.
It is so good to see all these wonderful students who Love GOD ,and are going to be Great Leaders one day. .
These young people give us some great hope for the future!
This event was a class-act. How wonderful to have something so nice in our area that recognizes the hard work that these students have performed. Chief Justice Stuart was an impeccable speaker who never did even have to look at her notes, and her comments were encouraging and uplifting. Thank you to the local businesses who helped to sponsor this event and to the Atmore Rotary Club.
