Perkasie Mayor Jeff Hollenbach on Monday, May 5 presented the Key to the Borough award to Pennridge High School senior Mackenzie Robinson.
This award is presented to a high school senior who has demonstrated outstanding dedication to serving both their school and community. Recipients make a meaningful impact on the lives of others through their commitment to volunteerism, leadership, and civic engagement. They exemplify compassion, integrity and service through organizing events, mentoring younger students, participating in service projects and/or advocating for important causes, said Hollenbach.
Robinson is the president of Key Club, wherein she has organized community events and fundraisers and has completed over 50 hours of volunteer work each year as a Pennridge High School student. She volunteers at different entities in the Pennridge community, including the Souderton Care and Share, Pennridge elementary schools and various nursing homes.
She is also the co-president of the mock trial team, the vice-president of the ski and snowboard club and a member of Pennridge’s National Honors Society, Link Crew, the World Language Honors Society, the Pennridge tennis team and the first-ever Pennridge women’s flag football team.
Outside of school, Robinson is an interim youth director at St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, where she creates lessons for the children on Sundays. After graduation, she plans to attend The University of Nebraska and major in finance and accounting, said Hollenbach.
“Congratulations to Mackenzie on receiving this significant award and best wishes on her future endeavors,” said Hollenbach.
