A stage filled with deserving seniors seated and excitedly awaiting their names to be called to receive one (or more!) scholarships – this was the setting for the NHS Senior Scholarship Ceremony which took place on the evening of June 7, 2023. Seventy-one scholarships were awarded, among them three RUTN ones, each in the amount of $2,000. The following students were applauded by a very proud audience in the HS auditorium:
• Ashly Lopez-Lopez will be seeking a degree in Education at SUNY Old Westbury.
• Dessa Kavrakis will be attending Harvard and majoring in both science and music.
• Sam Rosenfeld-McMahon will be off to American University to study Political Science.
We are so very proud of all these students, and wish them good luck and much success in all they do!
