Our Leopard Family congratulates Senior Jonathan Bahena, who was selected as the 88th winner of the Rotary Cup. This historic award has been presented annually to the Most Valuable Senior on the De Queen Leopards football team since 1936. Past winners of the award represent top students and athletes at De Queen High School, spanning over nine decades. At Monday’s (December 4th) noon meeting of the club, “The Voice of the Leopards” Jay Bunyard presented the award for the 2023 season to Bahena. He’s the 88th all-time recipient of the Rotary Cup. He was named to the All-5A South Conference first team as a sophomore, junior, and senior. Bahena also excels in the classroom, with a 3.22 grade point average. He’s active in the DHS Student Council, an anchor and producer for DQTV's Leopard Sports Update Show, and the DHS Student Leadership Program. #LeopardFamily #LeopardPride
