🎉 Scholarship Spotlight 🎉

Congratulations to Lanphier students Brooklyn Joiner and A’Tyla Jones-Shephard on being selected as recipients of the Black Lives Matter Scholarship!

As part of the scholarship application process, students were asked to write an essay about a member of the Black community who has made a meaningful impact on their lives.

✨ Brooklyn chose Senator Doris Turner, highlighting her leadership, advocacy, and commitment to serving the community.

✨ A’Tyla wrote about Dr. Erica Austin, recognizing her influence, dedication, and positive impact on others.

We are incredibly proud of these young women for their thoughtful reflections, outstanding writing, and well-deserved achievement!
