HONORS
Pendleton High School
graduate Jonathan Wolotira,
in addition to receiving
many scholarships, has also
been selected as a 2017
inductee to the Oregon
Music Hall of Fame.
“This is a significant
honor, and a rare one for our
side of the state,” said Emily
Callender of the PHS music
program. “The $2,500
scholarship is exciting, but
the recognition that comes
with this selection is even
more so.”
Wolotira took up the
guitar at age 8, largely due
to the influence of San
Diego rock band Switch-
foot. He participated during
high school as a singer,
percussionist and guitarist
in three choir and four band
ensembles, and is a current
member of the Oregon
East Symphony, Pendleton
Men’s Chorus and College
Community Theatre.
The OMHOF scholarship
will help Wolotira start
his college career at Blue
Mountain Community
College, where he intends
to participate in musical
theater productions. He will
complete his degree at Whit-
worth College in biophysics
and pre-medicine with a
minor in music ministry.
Wolotira will participate
in a concert featuring 2017
OMHOF inductees Tuesday,
July 11 from 5-7 p.m. at the
Tony Starlight Dinner Club,
1125 S.E. Madison, Suite
103G, in Portland.

Collectively,
the
four scholarship recip-

athletic teams, dance team,
band and orchestra, student
government, church youth
groups, and service organi-
zations (including National
Honor Society, Key Club,
ASTRA, and the Commu-
nicare Club.) In addition,
this group of scholarship
recipients includes a student
body president, an Eagle
Scout, an outdoor school
counselor and a Sister City
Exchange student, to name
a few of their accomplish-
ments beyond each of
their exemplary academic
performances and other
successes at Pendleton High
School or Pilot Rock High
School.
The
local
Kiwanis
Club is proud to award
these
local
teenagers
support for their college
educations, whose aspi-
rations include careers in
business
administration,
political science, social
work, and medicine, and
who currently plan to
attend either the University
of Oregon, the University
of Portland, Pacific Univer-
sity, or Linfield College.
Kiwanis is a global
organization of volunteers
dedicated to serving children
in their communities, and
