TIMKEN HIGH SCHOOL "CHARACTER CHAMPION" FOR APRIL IS MARCELLUS BERTRAM

During our meeting on April 24, 2015, Canton Rotarian Tim Shetzer introduced the Timken Student Character Champion Award Winner for April, 2015, Marcellus Bertram.

 

Timken High School had this to say:  "Timken is proud to present Marcellus Bertram as the Timken Character Counts Champion for the month of April.  Marcellus transferred to Timken for his senior year because he felt that he "fit" better at Timken.  In his time here he has made a positive impression on both students and staff.  Marcellus was inducted into the National Honor Society as a junior.  He was also inducted into the National Technical Honor Society as a junior as part of the 'Project Lead the Way' program, which is a pre-engineering program at Timken High School.  This year he placed 4th in the Skills USA regional tournament in Technical Drafting.  You might have seen Marcellus' smiling face on the United Way posters and ads. Project Lead the Way worked with the United Way and Marcellus kept in touch with his mentor at the United Way office.  We believe that the United Way board was impressed with Marcellus and his outgoing personality, and his steadfast commitment to helping the community as they chose him and his friend, Isaiah Smith, to be serve as the Students of the Year with the Black Alliance of Educators.  After graduation, Marcellus will be attending Mount Union and studying Mechanical Engineering and Middle School Education.  With his 100 plus hours of community service, he has proven himself worthy of being a Character Counts Champion."
