Great news for graduating seniors at Kelso High School and Castle Rock High School! 🎓

We’re proud to offer several scholarship opportunities to support your next steps in education, including:
• Merit-based scholarships – recognizing academic excellence and achievement
• Technical/vocational scholarships – for students pursuing trade, career, or technical programs
• Don Lemmons Memorial Scholarship – honoring a dedicated community member

Kelso Rotary – Club Highlights from This Week

We enjoyed a truly wonderful day at Rotary! Our program featured two outstanding Kelso High School seniors, Hattie Guler and Kyle McReary, who impressed us with their achievements and future aspirations.

We also had the privilege of honoring Janet Cole with an Honorary Membership in the Kelso Rotary Club — a well‑deserved recognition of her dedication and long‑standing support of our community.

Members also received an informative update from the City of Kelso Parks Department, highlighting improvements and ongoing projects that continue to enhance recreation opportunities throughout our city.

And of course, a special moment of joy: President Keenan brought along 2‑month‑old Riot (already 12 pounds!), officially our youngest visitor and a crowd favorite.

Days like this remind us why Rotary matters — celebrating youth, service, and the strong sense of community that brings us together.
