Rotary Club Honors Students of the Month

The Twin Valley Rotary Club has selected Twin Valley High School (TVHS) students Grace Kelly and Drew Engle as its Students of the Month for December.

Each month during the school year, the Twin Valley Rotary Club honors two students of the month from TVHS. The seniors are selected by guidance counselors, teachers and staff members at the school.

At TVHS, Grace has taken multiple Advanced Placement (AP) and honors classes. She is the president of the Tri-M Music Honors Society, vice president and concertmaster of orchestra, events coordinator for chorus, blood drive coordinator for HOSA, secretary of the Theater Arts Club and co-vice president of the senior class. Grace is also involved in the Spanish Honor Society, National Honor Society, String Septet, String Ensemble, Select Chorus and tennis. She played a lead role in the fall play and will also be in this year's spring musical, "Cinderella."

Grace has a strong passion for music, especially playing the piano. She frequently accompanies the chorus, instrumentalists and fellow students and has taken piano lessons for 13 years. Grace auditioned for and participated in the Berks County Orchestra and Chorus, as well as district chorus in her junior year.

As a sophomore, Grace attended the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards. She also traveled to New Orleans for an Evangelical Lutheran Church of America youth event, where she participated in community service and learned about leadership and other cultures.

Grace hopes to attend Penn State University, majoring in kinesiology on a pre-medicine track while minoring in music. Grace's career goal is to become a pediatrician.

Drew is a dual-sport competitor in football and lacrosse, and he maintains an academic record above a 4.0 GPA.

In football, Drew set multiple school records, including the marks for most career rushing yards, most single-season rushing yards and most career touchdowns. His performance and leadership helped earn him the title of Berks County Football Player of the Year.

Drew is equally accomplished in lacrosse. He has served as team captain, and his efforts were recognized with major honors, including Berks County Lacrosse Player of the Year and being named an All-American athlete.

Drew plans to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he will play Division I lacrosse. After graduating from West Point, he will continue his path of service by joining the United States Army.
