With our new superintendent and his vision for all students and their success, a new scholarship program has been created for graduating seniors who have displayed great character and resilience in the face of adversity.
This prestigious scholarship award of up to $5000 will be available to students who have experienced the traumatic loss of a parent, severe poverty, health issues, homelessness or other extenuating circumstances. The Exceptional Student Superintendent Scholars award selection will not be based solely on academics but also on adversity that may make higher education or career/vocational training difficult for students to attain. The intent of the award would be to select scholars by their accomplishments and tremendous potential for success with the ultimate goal to give back to our community after graduation.
