Scott's Branch Class of 2003 pays it forward

Posted

The Scott’s Branch High School Class of 2003 wanted to do something special to honor their milestone of graduating from high school 20 years ago. The class decided to come together and create a scholarship for one lucky 2023 graduating senior from SBHS. The application was available to all graduating seniors from the class that met the criteria of having a 2.5 grade point average or above, being accepted into a college/university for fall 2023, and provided a complete application along with a 500-word essay on the topic “How do you think you will impact the world 20 years from now?”

There were some excellent essays that were submitted, but only one winner could be chosen. The winner was announced on May 23, 2023, at the senior class night in the SBHS gymnasium. Class of 2003 graduates, Cassandra Stokes and Donyai Gist came back to their alma mater to present the winner with the scholarship. The recipient of the Class of 2003 20 th Reunion $500 scholarship was awarded to senior, Ashley Wiggins. An honorable mention award and monetary gift was also given to senior Randy Gibson. Both students will be attending college in the fall. We wish all the applicants much success in their futures.
