Everyone is invited to honor this year’s Greene County High School senior class at tonight’s awards night.
Guidance counselor Ruth Broman says there are over 80 awards and scholarships totaling over $246,000 that will be given out to 54 seniors tonight.
Principal Brian Phillips says the amount of classes that students have to help further their education beyond high school is overwhelming.
“We recently did a survey within the Heart of Iowa Conference and amongst all those Heart of Iowa Conference schools, we are number one with the number of college credits and courses that kids have opportunities to pursue. So we really have a lot of things and sometimes kids may not get everything they want but we really have a lot of things to offer kids for post-secondary opportunities.”
Broman points out one of the more unique scholarships given away this year is the Iowa Student Loan. She notes that the scholarship recognizes those students who have knowledge of financial literacy and she adds that one student will be receive that scholarship tonight.
It will be at the high school auditorium at 7pm tonight and it is free and open to the public.
