Dear Patrons and
Community Members,
We would like to
extend a heartfelt thank you to all of those individuals, families and agencies
that contributed to our 2018 Scholarship Awards. This year alone, 60 local
scholarships were awarded totaling $29,150.
Not only were our students’ recipients of local awards, but they also
received another $142,218.00 in outside scholarships for the 2018/19 school
year. With the potential for many of those scholarships to be renewed, our graduates
have the potential to receive $382,718.00 total over 4 years.
Students also had the
opportunity to earn dual credit while attending Genesee Joint high school. 90% of the 2018 graduates took advantage of
this program and earned a total of 442 college credits while attending Genesee
Joint Schools. This has been our
largest number of credits earned to date.
Out of our current
2018 graduates, 25 of 28 are headed directly on to a college or university to
continue their education in the fall. Colleges and Universities our students have
been accepted to are:
·
Lewis-Clark State
College
·
University of Idaho
·
Washington State
University
·
Blue Mountain
Community College
·
North Idaho College
·
College of Idaho
Others are headed to the U.S. Marine Corps or directly into the workforce.
The class of 2018 has raised the bar high for
fellow students and we know that they will achieve great things as they
continue their education. But we
couldn’t have given them all these opportunities without the outstanding
support of our community. On behalf of
the students and the Genesee Joint School District, we would like to thank you
for all your support, scholarships, and guidance you have provided our students
over the years.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Wendy Moore, PhD.
Superintendent
