A $1,000 check presentation was made to the Interact Club at Byron P. Steele on April 9, 2026 in the campus library, courtesy of the Randolph Metrocom Rotary Club. The donation recognized Interact Club students who volunteered at the Rotary Club’s Hearts for Heroes in Education Gala on February 14, 2026 to benefit the SCUC Education Foundation. Randolph Metrocom later presented the Education Foundation with the $12,000 proceeds from the gala in March.
“We appreciated the job you did at the gala,” said Jason Barger, Rotary Club president, addressing the students in attendance at the early morning club meeting.. “You acted with such dignity and the way you presented yourself and worked hard - people commented on it and our club recognized it.”
Barger was joined in the presentation by fellow Rotary Club members Mark Moody, Fredy Degollado, Cheri Armstrong and Daniel Ortiz. SCUC Superintendent of Schools Paige Meloni and Justin Linthicum, Steele HS principal, were also on hand to extend their gratitude in the partnership with Randolph Metrocom.
Barger hopes to continue the strong relationship between Randolph Metrocom and the Steele Interact Club in the future - an acknowledgement of the stellar work from students past and present. “The money we’re giving is to help you,” he said. “It gives you a base and helps the club grow in the future as well.”
