Additionally, the James McCallister Scholarship, in memory of a beloved local Kiwanian, is awarded to the candidate who most exemplifies selfless service and giving to the community. BBHHS senior Genevieve Dachtler was awarded this $1,500 scholarship.
Several other $1,500 scholarships were awarded to deserving students intending to pursue specific professions.
