Ezra Foote Named November CCHS Rotary Student of the Month

Calloway County High School senior Ezra Foote has been named the November Student of the Month by the Rotary Club of Murray.

Foote holds numerous leadership roles at the state level. He serves as the state president for Kentucky Future Business Leaders of America, where he represents Kentucky FBLA’s over 7,000 members from across 220 chapters. He is an Eagle Scout of the Boy Scouts of America from Troop 45, as well as a Kentucky House of Representatives Outstanding Youth Leadership Award recipient.  He has been awarded the titles of Kentucky Colonel, Commonwealth Ambassador, and Calloway County Honorary Squire for his involvement in his school and community.

Locally, Foote was one of the three students selected by the Western Kentucky Rural Electric Cooperative as one of the 2024 Kentucky Rural Electric Cooperative Youth Tour delegates, where he and a group of 70 students from across the Commonwealth received an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C. He was selected to serve on the new Main Impact Federal Credit Youth Board, where he will work with fellow students from both Murray and Calloway to serve the community.

Foote has attended the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards program, where he was named “Mr. RYLA.” He has also been accepted into the McConnell Center’s Young Leaders Academy. He is also an alumni of the local Leadership Tomorrow program.

At school, Foote serves as the Senior Class President, Beta Club President, and Interact Club President. He is the Varsity Social Studies Team Captain of the CCHS Academic Team and a varsity member of the Quick Recall team. He is also a member of the Laker tennis team. 

Inside the classroom, Foote has a 3.98 grade point average and will graduate with honors in May. Upon graduation, he will have completed nine different dual credit courses to receive college credit. As a sophomore, he was accepted into and attended the Governor’s School for Entrepreneurs in Louisville. He was also first place in last year’s speech contest held by the Rotary Club of Murray.

In his free time, he enjoys camping. During the summer, he serves as a part-time lifeguard, jet ski, motor boat, and small boat sailing instructor at the Pfeffer Scout Reservation.

After high school, Foote is undecided on his college choice but hopes to attend the University of Louisville or Murray State University. He plans to study business and political science.

Ezra is the son of Paul and Louise Foote.
