Rosha has been elected to President of her Student Government during her Sophomore and Junior years of high school. She also has been active in the theater / stage production as a performer and a member of the girl’s basketball and tennis teams as well. And she still has found time to be involved as an officer with the driving committee and a member of the U-Knighted Knights at school as well.

In addition to Rosha’s many other leadership activities and volunteering she has also been the recipient of many achievements and awards as noted below: The Knight Award – sports award voted on by her peers – received as a Freshman which has only happened one other time.
