In 1972, the Oahu chapter of Sertoma, a non-profit
organization dedicated to “SERvice TO MAnkind, elected to serve
Hawaii’s community through the gifted and talented students of Hawaii
in all public and private schools.
The Lyle Knoll Memorial Serteens Club of Hawaii,
was founded by Sertoma with recognition from the Department of
Education and the Board of Education, to work with gifted and talented
intermediate and high school students who have tested in the 98th and
99th percentile of any nationally recognized standardized test.
The goals of the Serteens Club of Hawaii include
intrapersonal growth, interpersonal friendship, services to the
community, and leadership training. Hundreds of Hawaii’s gifted and
talented students that have been a part of Serteens have become not
only successful in life, but also continue to aid the community
throughout their adult lives. In July 2004, the Lyle Knoll Memorial
Serteens Club of Hawaii was renamed the George B. Carter Serteens Club
of Hawaii to honor one of the founders of the club.
George B. Carter has, and continues to aid mankind
and devote his life to motivating gifted and talented teens everywhere.
