High school had another Scholastic Awards Recognition for a couple of seniors today. Carver Pleasant was recently selected as a 2023 School Winner for the Heisman High School Scholarship. This is a national scholarship awarded to only a few thousand senior scholar-athletes in the country. DeeDee Anderson was selected as a National Merit Corporate Scholarship Candidate. She is now in a pool of other candidates who also have the highest PSAT/NMSQT Selection Index scores, which allows her an opportunity to continue in the competition for the sponsor’s Special Scholarships. Principal Martin presented them each with a certificate to congratulate them both in front of our high school students. We are #BulldogProud of these amazing students!
