And of course we love to celebrate academic excellence. Here are lists of senior scholarship winners, provided by the district’s two largest high schools.
The lists include seniors’ self-reported scholarships and information as well as local scholarships reported by the schools’ Senior Nights, according to district spokesperson Julie Boyle. Some students appear two or more times on these lists; also, not all students chose to submit their scholarship information.
Congratulations to all 2022 graduates and their families!
