East Haven Rotary Club's Student Of The Month Made 'Unforgettable Impact' At EHHS

EAST HAVEN, CT — The East Haven Rotary Club recently honored Julia Torello as September's Student of the Month.

Torello has made an "unforgettable impact at East Haven High School," the Rotary Club noted.

"She is not only a dedicated student but also a kind, compassionate leader among her peers. Julia’s teachers describe her as someone who consistently gives her best effort, approaches challenges with determination, and inspires others with her positive attitude."

Beyond her academics, Torello is involved in soccer and dance and is a member of the Kindness Club and Books & Brownies. Her college plans include medical school, as she hopes to become a pediatrician.

"She leads by example, demonstrating responsibility, kindness, and a true commitment to her school community," the Club noted in a news release. "It is clear that Julia embodies the values we celebrate today—hard work, service, and leadership. As a shining example of what it means to be a student of the month, the East Haven Rotary Club was proud to honor her with this recognition."

Each month, the Rotary recognizes a student from East Haven High School's junior class. The club makes these presentations at Superintendent Erica Forti’s monthly, District Wide Students of the Month Assembly, which takes place the last Friday of the month in the Media Center at the high school. The East Haven Rotary Club presents each honoree with a certificate, a Rotary commemorative coin and a check for $100. Winners then become eligible for the $1000 Jack Leary Memorial Scholarship to be awarded at the end of their senior year.

The Club, now in its 87th year, was organized on March 3, 1939.
