Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders, Today
The Rowlett Rotary Club is proud to announce our 2025 RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) recipients—an inspiring group of young leaders who have been selected to attend this year’s prestigious leadership camp!
RYLA is a transformative experience designed to help upcoming high school seniors build confidence, leadership skills, and lasting connections with peers from across the region. Each year, we select students who not only demonstrate academic achievement and involvement in their schools, but who also embody the Rotary spirit of “Service Above Self.”
Please join us in congratulating our 2025 RYLA honorees:
🌟 Vani Kaushik – Wylie High School
🌟 Connor Wickersham – Garland High School
🌟 Coehn Simpson – Sachse High School
🌟 Maggie Lucero – Lakeview Centennial High School
These students took part in a weekend full of team-building activities, leadership workshops, and meaningful conversations that challenge them to think big, lead boldly, and serve with purpose. Many RYLA alumni return from camp feeling inspired, empowered, and ready to make an even greater impact in their communities.
We are incredibly proud of this year’s group and can’t wait to hear about the insights and experiences they’ll bring back to Rowlett!
To our RYLA recipients: congratulations on this well-earned opportunity. The future is bright with leaders like you lighting the way.
– Rowlett Rotary Club
