🎉 Congratulations to our Rotary Student of the Month: Drew Schmidt! 🎉

Drew is a senior at Flushing High School, maintaining an impressive 3.817 GPA, and is set to graduate with high honors this spring. He is also in his second year at the Genesee Career Institute (GCI), studying in the Aviation Academy.

Drew is the proud son of Andrew and Brandi Schmidt and has an older sister, Ella (FHS Class of 2022), who was also a recipient of this award and a dedicated member of the Rotary Interact Club.

His passions include sports, traveling, fishing, and hunting. Drew has been actively involved in numerous clubs, including serving as the President of the FHS Rotary Interact Club, as well as being a member of the National Honor Society and the Varsity Club.

Drew’s commitment to giving back to his community is evident through his volunteer work with Candle Walk Set-up, Adopt-a-Highway, blanket making for Hurley Medical Center, and more. He also volunteered at the Flushing Youth Sports Camp this past summer!

Athletically, Drew has been a standout in tennis and basketball. He’s played three years of tennis (two on Varsity), earning 2x first team FML honors and qualifying for the state tournament, and four years of basketball (two on Varsity). Throughout his athletic career, Drew has consistently achieved scholar-athlete status.

Looking ahead, while Drew is officially undecided on his college plans, he’s strongly considering Western Michigan University to pursue his dream of becoming a commercial pilot.

In his free time, Drew has a goal to visit all 30 Major League Baseball ballparks—having already been to 21! He’s also proud to have recently completed visits to all 50 states.

Drew’s favorite memory at FHS is competing at the State Finals for tennis this past weekend, with a close second being the baseball team’s postseason run, winning the Regional Championship this past spring. His favorite teacher is Mr. Thomas, who he admires as a coach and a father figure to all his athletes.

Drew’s dedication to his academics, athletics, and community is truly inspiring. Congratulations, Drew, on this well-deserved honor! 👏
