Avari Amstutz was selected as the Rotary Club of Chagrin Valley senior of the month for March at Kenston. Teachers and staff at Kenston describe Avari as kind, athletic, and sincere.

Avari excels academically, maintaining a 4.49 GPA and earning AP Scholar with Distinction recognition. Her academic honors include the Excellence in Mathematics Award, the Seal of Biliteracy in Spanish, the President’s Award for Educational Excellence, and multiple academic awards across various subjects. In addition to her academic success, she is highly involved in extracurricular activities at Kenston High School.

Avari demonstrates strong leadership at school as the President of Interact Rotary Club. She is also a member of the National Honor Society, serves as a peer tutor, was the secretary of the Spanish Club, and is a member of the Bomber Bash Lead Crew.

Avari is also a leader in athletics, serving as a four-year varsity captain of the Kenston Volleyball team. Through her involvement in the volleyball program, she has organized toy drives, helped run volleyball camps, and served as a mentor to younger players in the sport. One of her proudest athletic accomplishments came after countless hours of practice, games, and tournaments, when she committed to play volleyball at a Division 1 program.


In addition, Avari was instrumental in bringing the Kenston Girls and Women in Sports Night back to Kenston alongside fellow athletes Grace Gettig and Morgan Cicek. Sports have played an important role in her life and have helped shape the athlete she is today.
