The Mesquite Rotary Club hosted its annual Scholarship Awards Luncheon at their meeting on June 4th.
Our club hosted our annual Scholarship Awards Luncheon at the meeting on June 4th. At the event, scholarship awards of $1,500 each were presented to graduating students from North Mesquite High School, Poteet High School, John Horn High School, the Sunnyvale High School, and Dallas Christian School. This investment by the club in the future of these deserving area scholars totaled $7,500.
Those receiving the $1,500 Rotary scholarships this year included Gwenneth Barbre of Dallas Christian School, Kate Brewer of Sunnyvale High School, Ja’Nell Barber of North Mesquite High School, Heroshei David of Poteet High School, and Jacob Hammett of John Horn High School.
The Mesquite Rotary Club scholarship committee for 2024 was chaired by Dr. LaDonna Gulley, and also included Dr. Leslie Feinglas and Lindsay Paris. In making the award decisions, the committee considered the students’ academic records, their involvement in school activities, their community service activities, and financial need.
