Southwest Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce Recognizes Local Youth with Character Award

The Southwest Gwinnett Chamber (SWGC) recently held its April 2023 First Friday breakfast at the Hilton in Peachtree Corners, the organization’s signature monthly networking event drawing local business professionals.

SWGC Board Member William Corbin presented this year’s final Character Award to Paul Duke STEM High School’s Rohan Pai. The award was created to recognize outstanding students whose attitudes and actions embody the organization’s mission, passion and commitment to excellence and community action.

“Over the last four years, Rohan has demonstrated tremendous character, responsibility, dedication and respect at Paul Duke STEM High,” said Paul Duke STEM High School Principal Jonathon Wetherington. “It has been an honor to serve as his principal, and an even greater honor to observe his growth and commitment to excellence over his years at Paul Duke STEM.”

It was noted that Pai is an active member of several academic and service organizations at the high school. In his leadership roles, Pai demonstrates a passion for helping his fellow students excel.

During the presentation, Pai was joined by his parents, Jagdish and Mansai Pai, and Principal Wetherington.
