Good luck to these fine young students. Hopefully they are all in the STEM fields and will go on to bigger and better things in the future. Despite the dumpster fire that is the LoCo school system, these young people overcame the nonsense and achieved mightily. CONGRATULATIONS!
Bravo to all the wonderful students who were awarded these scholarships. I see a bright future for them!
