Prairie senior Brock Heath was one of nine Idaho students
honored at the Governor’s Brightest Star awards ceremony in Boise. Heath
was nominated for his community service activities which include developing
the chess club at Prairie Middle school. Although the chess club started
out as an extracurricular activity, it has now become helpful in sending
an “anti-bullying” message, as well as encouraging good sportsmanship.
He is also active in PAVE (Prairie Active Volunteer Effort) and HOSA, and
serves as the student body president at Prairie High School. He is the
son of Gordon Heath and Theresa Carter. He is shown with Idaho First Lady
Lori Otter. Heath is also one of ten state finalists for the Wendy’s
High School Heisman award. The selection process focuses on students' scholarship,
athletics and citizenship. From the ten finalists, one Idaho entrant will
be chosen to represent Idaho in the national scholarship competition in
New York in December.
