Seniors Receive Prestigious Scholarships

In the 20-21 school year, despite many having to complete their senior year in distance learning, our seniors persevered. The majority of our seniors, nearly 90%, graduated in June! We’re incredibly proud of them.

Additionally, numerous seniors received higher education scholarships, including full-ride scholarships, from organizations that include QuestBridge, the L.I.F.T. Foundation, the Leonetti/O’Connell Family Foundation, Posse Foundation, and the Kayne Foundation.
