We have a new City Council installed!  The Roswell Youth Council (RYC) is ready to lead the 75th Francis McGahee Youth Day Celebration on Sat, Oct 4th!  The relaunch of the RYC is now a collaboration between the City of Roswell and the Roswell Rotary sponsored High School Interact Clubs. "We are exceptionally proud to be working with the City of Roswell on this exciting youth-focused leadership initiative especially this year when both entities are celebrating their 75th Birthday," Roswell Rotary President Trummie Lee Patrick. 

Installed last night at the Roswell City Council Meeting, a proclamation was read and each member of the City Council along with the Mayor, City Administrator, Roswell Police Chief and Roswell Fire Chief have been paired with a youth ambassador.  

The RYC members will participate fully in the Youth Day Celebration but they will also meet 3 more times through the 2025-26 academic year to not only learn about their own leadership style but also being a dual mentor.  They will have a day after the first of the year to meet and learn from each City of Roswell Department Head. All of this will culminate in the Spring with a day to tour the "gems" of Roswell and choose the theme of the 2026 Youth Day Celebration.  Applications will then open for the 2026-27 RYC year. 

The 17-member council reflects students from

5 Roswell private and public high schools:   Blessed Trinity, Centennial, Fellowship, The Cottage School and Roswell High School.
