🎓 Each year, the Addison Center for the Arts has been proudly awarding 2 scholarships to Addison Trail High School seniors for excellence in the arts or interest in pursuing a creative future. This year, we are excited to announce our 2026 recipients -- Mary-Terese Tamondong and Joseph Pausa! Both graduating Blazers are on the Distinct Honor Roll and have been actively participating in the ATHS performing arts programs.

Mary-Terese served as a Vice President and then as a President of Addison Trail Theatre Board, a Recording Secretary of Addison Trail Illinois Music Honors Society Board, and a Section Leader of Addison Trail Concert Choir. She will be attending Illinois State University and majoring in Music Performance with a minor in Theatre.

Joseph Pausa, whose achievements include Outstanding Musician, Outstanding Marching Band Member and many more, will continue his artistic journey in Illinois State University as a Music Education major with a minor in Performance, where he is going to use his creativity to plant more creativity in himself and others for the future.

We extend our congratulations to Mary-Terese and Joseph and wish them both success in their academic pursuits!
