2020 has challenged us to rethink everything that once was tradition including how we honor our NHS Alumni Scholarship recipients. As the coronavirus pandemic continues to impact the graduates with limited public celebrations, we want to shine the spotlight on them, their accomplishments and their plans for the future. We wish them all the best as they move onward from high school and begin the next phase of their lives. We know that each NHS alumnus sends them well-wishes and looks forward to hearing about their future successes.
Each recipient will be provided a $1,200 scholarship to assist with their first-year of college education expenses.
