PHOENIX – As John C. Birdlebough High School seniors prepare for the next chapter of their lives, many received a financial boost during the annual scholarship and awards night.
The Phoenix chapter of Dollars for Scholars presented more than $46,000 in scholarships to members of the graduating class.
Additionally, several privately funded awards were given to graduates who met specific criteria, ranging from high academic achievement to strong leadership and citizenship.
“We would like to thank our volunteers for all their generous contributions,” said Dollars for Scholars President Wendy Dunnigan.
JCB guidance counselor Paul Hurlbutt, who served as emcee for the evening, echoed those sentiments and lauded the students for their achievements.
He noted that the accomplishments were a reflection on the recipient, his or her family, the school district and the community.
“It’s a pleasure to work with these young men and women,” Hurlbutt said. “I applaud them and all of you who continually support them as they grow and leave a lasting impact on everyone they meet.”
