Caleb is an 18-year-old senior at Alton High School and maintains a 3.8-grade-point average. Womack said Caleb is “an outstanding young man,” and he exemplifies everything the Alton Boys & Girls Club stands for. “Caleb is a senior at Alton High and has been part of the AHS ROTC Program and a member of our organization for six years,” Womack said. “His mom, La-Cheryl Lewis, has done a great job of raising him.
