Global High School’s principal Ken Lynch presented the Global High School Student of the Month Award for September 2017 to Jacqueline Navarro.
Jacquline, the daughter of Abel and Angelina Navarro, is a junior at Global High School. She excells academically and is on the A/B Honor Roll. This is her second year in the Interact Club but she is receiving this award because of her many dedicated service hours. She spends numerous hours working at Hidden Miracles which is her favorite Interact event. She also enjoys the Red Bags event in which volunteers put the kits together for the Salvation Army’s annual Angel Tree project.
In her spare time Jacqueline enjoys traveling and listening to music. In the future, she plans to continue her studies to become a music producer, potentially studying at the Media Tech School in Dallas.
It is an honor for Rotary to acknowledge such an outstanding student as Jacqueline Navarro and she has been presented with a plaque with her name engraved on it. This plaque will hang in the halls of Global High School for many years to come.

They are probably most often thought of checking hunting and fishing licenses but there is much more to their jobs. They also enforce the Water Safety Act patroling lakes and waterways to insure boating safety. They patrol for DWI on the road and in the water.
