OUTSTANDING YOUNG CITIZEN NOMINEES
Keynote speaker and judges
From the president
Keynote speaker
T
oday we look beyond the troubles often reported by Trib Total Media.
Instead, we look to Western Pennsylvania and focus on the achievements of our youth. The dedication of these students to academics,
community service and extracurricular activities is remarkable. Within
these pages are some of the best, the brightest and the most giving group of
individuals Western Pennsylvania has to offer.
This year, parents, school administrators and friends
nominated 295 students representing 20 schools. We are
proud to have the opportunity to give them the recognition
they deserve.
We have the utmost confidence that these students will go
on to do amazing things and hold rewarding and impressive
careers.
I would also like to congratulate the many parents,
teachers, coaches and mentors who have helped guide these
young adults and contributed to their successes. They are
Ralph Martin often unrecognized for the many hours of loving assistance
they have invested and we appreciate them encouraging the
development of our youth.
Finally, I would like to extend my thanks to you, the reader. Without
you, none of this would be possible. I ask if you know any of the students
highlighted in this section, that you please take a moment to congratulate
them for setting an example and working hard to ensure our future.
We are proud to have the privilege of continuing the Outstanding Young
Citizen program year after year, and it is because of the extraordinary
students that we are able to do so.
