As a member of the 2016 class of Coca-Cola Scholars, Grace will receive a $20,000 scholarship award, renewable annually at $5,000, for 4 years of study at any accredited U.S. college or university of her choice. Grace is also invited to attend Scholars Weekend in Atlanta, where she and other scholars will be honored at the Coca-Cola Scholars Banquet at the Georgia International Convention Center.
In addition to the banquet, the weekend will include participation in Coca-Cola's Leadership Development Institute, a leadership training that challenges participants to develop an inside-out leadership philosophy. Scholars Weekend is rounded out by tours of local landmarks in Atlanta, seminars by alumni and staff, and a group community service project.
As a recipient of this award Grace was also asked to select a teacher as a "Educator of Distinction". An Educator of Distinction is "someone from your high school who has greatly impacted your vision of education". Ms. Miner has selected English Department Chair, Mrs. Karen Izzo as the EGHS recipient. In addition to the knowledge gained through her instruction over the course of four years at EGHS, Grace also selected Mrs. Izzo because "I could never have completed the long application and interview process without her guidance and help!"
On behalf of the entire EGHS community, I congratulate Grace and her family on receiving this prestigious scholarship.
It is always exciting to read about our EGHS students receiving awards. Way to go Grace Miner! And to give favorable remarks about one of our outstanding teachers here at the high school that is wonderful too. It is nice to see good things happening in our school.
ReplyDeleteAnother day, another high achievement from a member of the EGSD community. I cannot get enough love and praise from my colleagues in the state legislature for all the accolades that you receive just about every day. Congratulations and keep up the good work... State Representative, Anthony Giarrusso
