South Haven High School’s Tatum Rountree is very active at school. Not only is she involved in track and cheer, but she is very active in clubs including SCCDAT (Sumner County Community Drug Action Team). 

“I began SCCDAT at South Haven in the eighth grade. I also do track and cheer and am involved in STUCO, FCCLA, JETS, NASA, FFA, KYC, and choir,” Rountree said. “My favorite part about being on the SCCDAT team is being able to make a visible difference in my community. I enjoy being able to see the impact I make not only on the community itself, but also the younger community. Knowing that I can help my community makes my day all the time.”

It is important to Rountree that she help spread the word and the mission SCCDAT serves. 

“It’s important because it gives me a chance to not only use my skills to help make an impact, but also learn something from those around me. I’m really grateful to be on a team of such talented individuals that work hard,” Rountree said. 

Rountree gives credit to her cousin, Mak for helping her understand what it means to be a good person. 

“Over the years she’s helped me realize what being a good person looks like and I strive to be like her every day. Regardless of how stubborn we both can be, I feel that we’ve both learned a lot from each other, and I continue to be better because of this every day,” said Rountree.
