The Rotary Club of Grand Island and the Grand Island Central School District's PTSA honored 12 graduating seniors from Grand Island High School Tuesday at the annual Rotary/PTSA Students of the Year award banquet, held at Byblos Niagara Resort & Spa.

Rotary Club President Joseph Philippone praised the honorees and told them that Rotary is involved locally and globally to make a difference putting its motto, "Service Above Self" into action. He told the Students of the Year the four-way test of what Rotarians think, say or do: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
