Sarah Eich and Sean Baker were invited to lunch with the Austin Rotary Club for the month of December. They were selected for being senior students who excel in academics, leadership and/or activities.

 Sarah Eich

Activities/Hobbies:

I am involved in Austinaires, National Honors Society, tennis, track and field, and Vocal Jazz.

Thoughts on educational experience:

I have enjoyed my education here at Austin High School. The staff have provided me with lessons that will stay with me forever, some of which are not necessarily “educational.” I have been given so many opportunities in music and I will remember it always and fondly.

Plans for the future: I plan on attending South Dakota State University to pursue a degree in pharmacy.

Thoughts on Experience with Rotary: I’m honored that I was selected to spend time with such influential adults in my community. Even though my shy nature got the best of me, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the Rotary members and hearing about the things that they have experienced in their careers and even during high school. 

Sean Baker

Activities/Hobbies: I am involved in varsity soccer, National Honor Society, Austinaires and Ping Pong Club.

Awards/recognitions: All-State second team Soccer 2015, Soccer captain 2014-2015

Educational Experience: My educational experience has been a very enjoyable one. I have had some very good teachers to help me along the way and I have learned a lot.

Plans for the Future: Attend a four year university and major in something. I’m not sure what that something will be yet, I am hoping that one day it will just come to me.

Rotary Experience: My experience at Rotary was a very good one. It was nice to get away from a school lunch to visit with some important business men and women within the community.
