Awarded Scholarships!

By Nancy Ketch ’82,
HHSAA President

In an interesting twist, we presented 23 scholarships
to the Class of ’23 at Last Chapel in June. A total of
$69,000 in scholarships was presented giving each
recipient a $3,000 award. We also continue to cover
our obligations on renewable scholarships so this year
we will be paying out nearly $100,000 in scholarship
funds.

Included in the scholarship awards were over $27,000
from the Henry, Elizabeth & Janet White Scholarship
Fund, over $22,000 from the Hamilton & Maxine
Giberson Scholarship Fund and more than $16,000
from the Roger M. Rines Scholarship Fund. A first-time
award was presented from a new fund – the Margaret
E. McCluskey Cleary Family Scholarship Fund. Margaret Principal Morse’s Last Briefing to the Class of 2023
