Rian Corr selected as Menomonie Optimist Club Youth of the Month
The Menomonie Optimist Club provides Boyceville High School with the opportunity to recognize the achievements and efforts of an outstanding senior student. The selected student is then recognized as the Youth of the Month.
Rian Corr was selected to represent Boyceville High School as Menomonie Optimist Youth of the Month for September. He is the son of Amy and Josh Corr of Boyceville.
The program statement from the Menomonie Optimist Club describes the qualities and attributes that made Rian a great choice.
“The purpose of the Optimist Club is to develop optimism as a philosophy of life: to promote an active interest in good government and civic affairs, to aid and encourage the development of youth, in the belief that the giving of one’s self in service to others will advance the well-being of man, his community, and the world.”
To recognize Rian’s accomplishments there was an Awards Banquet held in Menomonie. Boyceville High School staff member, Mr. Andy Hamm attended the Awards Banquet as well as Rian’s parents Josh and Amy Corr.

Another recognition of his leadership qualities came about when Rian was selected to participate in the 2016 Dunn Saint Croix Sportsmanship Summit representing the student athletes and coaches of Boyceville High School.
