Pulaski County and Southwestern High celebrate the 2025 Society of Character Recipients.  The mission of the Society of Character is to recognize a male and female junior or senior who have exemplified outstanding character in their respective sport.  Each recipient was selected by their coach/coaches on outstanding character, academic excellence, sportsmanship, and involvement in their school and the community.

The ceremony was hosted by Southwestern High School.   Fifty two juniors and seniors were recognized with a plaque for this prestigious award at an induction ceremony and reception.  Keynote Speaker was Riley Hall, a Mechanical Engineer for N3D Consulting Engineers and a former SOC recipient.  Riley is a 2016 Pulaski High graduate where he played football and basketball.  He furthered his education and played football at Georgetown and later finished his engineering degree at the University of Kentucky.  Riley delivered a great message to the students on having good character.

Each year the Somerset Noon Rotary Club sponsors two $1000.00 scholarships for two deserving seniors, one from each school.  The application process consisted of a written essay, “Service Above Self” and an interview process.  Receiving the scholarships from Pulaski High is Ava King and from Southwestern High, Morgan Mounce. Scholarships were presented by Rotary President, Mr. James England.
