In September 2023 the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce launched its fifth annual Rising Star of the Month program to honor local area high school seniors for demonstrating character, integrity, love of learning, involvement in school and community activities and the ability to overcome challenging life circumstances without compromising their education.

This year we honored nearly 40 high school seniors from seven different high schools in Carlsbad. The students who are honored each month are selected by their respective high schools.

At the end of the school year, those students who were honored throughout the year as Rising Stars of the Month, are then eligible to apply for the Rising Star of the Year scholarship. This year the Carlsbad Chamber was able to honor 10 exceptional students.
