Lakeville South High School will recognize Dakota Rawley as the Lakeville South High School Rotary Student of the Month for October. Dakota’s parents are Daniel & Kimberly Rawley and his Dean: Dr. Dana Kelly.
Dakota is a senior who has accomplished a lot within his 3+ years at Lakeville South.
Not only is Dakota a great student with a 34 ACT, 4.03 GPA and class rank in the top 15%, he is a leader within the Lakeville South STEM Academy.
Perhaps it could have been by default since his dad, Dan Rawley, has been the coordinator for the last 4 years, but Dakota fell into the leadership role very naturally.
Dakota has demonstrated leadership by:
- becoming a CREO expert and teaching others how to use the engineering software
- leading his peers as a captain on the FCR robotics team
- organizing the equipment for a more design/process/production flow in the STEM area
- fixing any broken equipment (such as 3d printers) and assembling new equipment and machines
- conducting tours of the STEM Academy for any group of students or adults who want to learn more about the STEM Academy
Dakota has been a true ambassador for the LSHS STEM program
