"Their spirit of civic engagement and demonstrated leadership are more proof that the future of our state is bright indeed. Congratulations to all of this year's award winners and keep up the great work!" Each year, high schools across Rhode Island are invited to nominate two students in the junior class who best meet the ideals of the Civic Leadership Award. Ideals include public service, leadership ability and academic achievement. This year, Gorbea received nominations from 70 schools across Rhode Island.
