On Thursday, our local scholarship foundation gave $1000 scholarships to 74 high school seniors. This was our 25th annual awards banquet. There was a video featuring every scholarship recipient, a medal to wear with their graduation robes, and a book featuring their pictures and a brief biography.
Every senior who graduates from Onslow County schools can earn a $1000 scholarship if they
--maintain at least a B+ average (88 or better)
--scores a composite score of at least 1200 on the SAT
--performs 100 hours of community service
In the last 25 years, we have awarded more than 1000 scholarships for at total of more than $1,000,000.
One of our associate superintendents was in the first class to receive scholarships, and one of our principals in the second.
Congratulations to all our scholarship winners!

I like the requirement of community service as that is giving back to those who help.
