Rotary Student of the Month

Each month the La Habra Rotary recognizes a student of the month from our three high schools in the city. This month's Sonora's Rotary Student of the Month is Kyra Shah. Kyra serves as our IB Captain, a member of our National Honor Society, and our Dance Production Captain. 

Kyra is a Senior with a weighted grade point average of 4.81. She aspires to attend a four-year college/university next year. Her top choices are the University of Southern California and the University of California Los Angeles. Kyra's family is her greatest motivation to pursue a career in medicine. Her dad is a general physician and she would like to go into anesthesiology. The medical miracle of her sister and studying ALS that her grandma suffered from caused Kyra to immerse herself in online courses, medical research, and working in different medical labs. 

Kyra said that COVID actually brought her family closer together. Normally they are a family of three active children on the move. They go from this practice or game to another. COVID caused them to slow down and enjoy the company of each other. They are a family of dancers as well. Kyra loves to dance to Indian classical music.

In her free time, Kyra and her family will dance or travel internationally. Her favorite place to have traveled to was Costa Rica. She states that the weather and atmosphere were so relaxing.  

It is my pleasure to present to all of you a top-achieving student at Sonora High School and our Rotary Student of the Month, Kyra Shah. We are so proud of you, Krya!! #sonorastrong #beholdblueandgold
