Valedictorian Reflects On High School And Value Of Community
June 2, 2017
Alyssa Borelli of Molino started last Saturday morning anxious for graduation, but a little sad that four years filled with lots of hard work and many laughs was coming to an end.
“I’m excited,” Alyssa quickly stated when asked the first thing that comes to mind when told she is Northview High School’s 2017 Valedictorian. “My parents deserve a huge thank you for being my biggest supporters throughout high school. My teachers and friends definitely deserve to be thanked as well.”
As the Executive Officer, or XO, of Northview’s NJROTC, the vice president of the Future Business Leaders of America, and actively involved in Beta Club, the Student Government Association, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, the school advisory council, and several other organizations, Alyssa worked hard not only in her studies, but to be an active student too.
Alyssa plans to attend the University of West Florida where she will major in mathematics. She wants to minor in education and teach high school math after graduating college.
When reflecting on the community, Alyssa realizes just how valuable it can be.
“This community is really important to me. I’ve been able to make a lot of close friends and even people I’ve just met are really nice and easy to talk to.”
Alyssa even touched on why she chose the University of West Florida when discussing the importance of the community to her.
“When picking between UWF and UF,” she stated, “I chose UWF to stay close to my family and friends.”
Escambia County Take Stock In Children Graduates Celebrated
June 1, 2017
Take Stock in Children and the Escambia County Public Schools Foundation awarded more than $200,000 in scholarships recently. The event honored 19 graduating seniors who received tuition scholarships and a laptop computer.
The 2017 Take Stock in Children graduates are:
- Escambia High: Juliana Cunningham:
- Escambia Virtual Academy: Myiesha Pitts;
- Northview High: Chase Olsen, Alston Wiggins;
- Pensacola High: Ronald Coro, Terrie Pointer, Darin Redick;
- Pine Forest High: Mariaestella Silva, Meghan Hermance, Quadell Evans;
- Tate High: Angeliyah Osuna;
- Washington High: Ebony House, Si’Miah Johnson, Deonna Lewis, Selena Williams, De’Aja Woods;
- West Florida High: Jervae Cannon, Taylor Lopes, Kaitlyn Negron.
Take Stock in Children was established in 1995 as a non-profit organization in Florida that provides a unique opportunity for deserving low-income students to escape the cycle of poverty through education. Students receive college scholarships, caring volunteer mentors, college readiness skills, and hope for a better life. Students are selected through a need-based application process in middle school and comprehensive services continue through high school and include the students’ transition into college. Each student is matched with a volunteer mentor who meets with the student weekly at school.
Scholarships are funded through a unique public-private fundraising model in which local scholarship donations are matched by the Florida Prepaid College Foundation when scholarships are purchased each year. Laptops were donated through a program coordinated by Paul Snider and Ana DeCesare.
