At a recent meeting, The Rossmoor Woman’s Club recognized Dana Kim and Jordan Shen as Los Alamitos High School Students of the Month for December and January respectively. The club presented each of the teens with a $500 scholarship.

Dana is president of the senior class and a three-year member of the Associated Student Body student government. During her freshman year, she founded the debate team, which went on to take a second-place award in national competition. She also serves on the board of Model United Nations and is a member of the California Scholarship Federation.

Outside of school, Dana volunteers with a local food bank. After high school, she plans to major in political science and hopes to pursue a career in law.

Jordan is currently Design Commissioner for the school’s Link Crew, which helps welcome and orient incoming freshmen.  She is a board member for Growing Up STEM, and a member of the California Scholarship Federation and National Honor Society.  Jordan is passionate about science, and she received an AP Scholar with Distinction award. She’s also a four-year varsity tennis player and has played both singles and doubles.

Outside of school, she enjoys volunteering at the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center and the Huntington Beach Wetlands Conservancy. She also has volunteered at the Aquarium of the Pacific for the past three years, as a VolunTEEN and leader of the Teen Climate Council’s Design Committee. In the future, Jordan hopes to delve deeper into her interests in science, art, and the environment.
