Attention Seniors: For the tenth year in a row, the Mike Rowe Works Foundation is
launching the next Work Ethic Scholarship Program and giving away another
$1,000,000 this year. We’re looking for hardworking men and women who will keep
the lights on, water running, and air flowing — people who will show up early, stay
late, and work hard to get the job done. It’s not for everyone, but we know hard
workers are out there. For more information, please stop by Guidance to pick up a
flyer!
Attention all Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors: Have you done any community
service work in the past year? Community Service performed for the school course
doesn’t count. If so you could win $200 from The Challenge Program! We don’t
have many applications yet so don’t assume you have not done enough community
service to win. Applications for the Community Service awards are available outside
the Guidance Office. Applications are due by April 15 th .
