SANTA MARIA — Righetti High School’s Kai Karamitsos has been awarded the Northern Santa Barbara County Athletic Round Table Male Scholar Athlete of the Year Scholarship.
Karamitsos, who was on the swim team and played water polo, will receive the $1,000 scholarship at Supervisor Steve Lavagnino’s office on May 26. Karamitsos has a 4.71 GPA and will major in environmental science at US Santa Barbara next year. His class rank is 2/512.
“For the entirety of my four years in high school, I have remained dedicated and committed to academics, sports and the community,’’ he said. “Maybe it’s my dedication to enjoying life that really helps me remain dedicated to so many different things. I like to have fun like everyone else, but I can find fun in all that I do.’’
Warrior Athletic Director Kevin Barbarick described Karamitsos as “an outstanding student athlete and great ambassador for RHS.’’
