Taylor Hicks, a senior at Rockdale County Public Schools (Conyers, Ga.) and Salem High School (SHS), was named the winner of the Rotary Club of Rockdale County’s Four-Way Test essay contest. Students were asked to submit essays on the guiding principles of the Rotary Club, called the Four Way Test, which asks “Of the things we think, say or do: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?”  Hicks, who will attend University of West Georgia in the fall, was awarded a $1,000 scholarship at the May 3 meeting of the Rockdale Rotary Club.
