Lincoln High School students receive Exchange Club of Walla Walla Youth of the Month awards
Congratulations to Lincoln High School seniors Angel Martinez and Steven Lewis for receiving Exchange Club of Walla Walla Youth of the Month Awards for March. Alternative Education Program (WWCC) seniors Selena Cisneros and Jackson Owens also received awards. These students will also be eligible to compete for the Exchange Club of Walla Walla Youth of the Year Award and a special $1,000 college scholarship. 2015-16 Youth of the Year Theme: “Responsible citizenship for a strong America.” Mark Higgins is the program coordinator.

Lewis is a senior at Lincoln High School with ambitions to attend the culinary arts program at WWCC. He has a 3.5 GPA and has nearly perfect attendance in the four years he has attended Lincoln High School. Steven has been active in Drama during his high school years, performing in Grease at the Power House Theatre. When not involved in school, he stays busy taking care of his younger siblings and doing yard work.

Steven is a very kind, humble individual that never has a negative comment to say about anyone, according to Principal Marci Knauft. Angel Martinez is a four year Lincoln student. He has a 3.5 GPA and nearly perfect attendance during his high school career. He is a quiet leader, both on and off the basketball court, according to Principal Marci Knauft. Despite school not coming easy to him, his self-motivation, personal drive and hard work have earned him top ranks among Lincoln graduates this year, said Knauft.
