CCHS Senior Emma Martin Named September Rotary Student of the Month

Calloway County High School senior Emma Martin has been named the September Student of the Month by the Rotary Club of Murray.

Martin is on track to be a valedictorian upon graduation with a 4.0 grade point average while taking honors and dual credit classes. As a junior, she was chosen as an alternate for the Governor’s Scholars Program and was in Leadership Tomorrow. 

In addition to her academic ability, Martin is also a talented artist. She was the national winner of the American Chemical Society Illustration and Poetry contest. She received the Printmaking Award at the Summer Art Workshop at MSU, and her artwork has been chosen for display for the All-State Purchase Pennyrile Regional Art Exhibition and at the Murray Women’s Club. She has also been awarded district, Quad State, and All State honors in the CCHS choir.

Martin is also a standout athlete for the CCHS track team. She was the triple jump state champion of the 2024 KHSAA State Indoor Meet, the MVP of the 2024 Regional Track Meet, and holds the indoor track school record at CCHS in the hurdles.

In the community, Martin volunteers with the Murray Art Guild and with her church. She is also involved in the ASAP Youth council, a community based, nonprofit group that is dedicated to preventing substance misuse in youth. She has also been employed at Culver’s in Murray with a part time job since 2022.

After high school, Martin plans to attend Murray State to study art with an emphasis in graphic design. She hopes to work professionally with graphic design and artistic branding.

Emma is the daughter of Jarrod and Sarah Martin.
