Daley announces scholarship awards
Several area high school seniors were chosen as recipients of this year’s state Rep. Peter J. Daley’s Student Leadership Award. The awards are given to graduating seniors who have performed exemplary work as an elected member of student government and who plan to continue their education.
This year’s local recipients are:
– Ashley Capco, a graduate of Belle Vernon Area High School and daughter of Tom and Laura Capco.
– Carissa Diethorn, a graduate of Bethlehem-Center High School and daughter of Theda Diethorn.
– Lindsay Kuhn, a graduate of Brownsville Area High School and daughter of Karen and L.D. Kuhn.
– Michael Jones, a graduate of California Area High School and son of Woodrow and Iva Jones.
– Sandy Risha, a graduate of Uniontown Area High School and daughter of Joseph and Ronda Risha.
“I am so proud to honor these emerging leaders of tomorrow,” said Daley (D-California) in a press release. “Their work and dedication to their education is very worthy of recognition.”
Each student received a certificate and U.S. savings bond.
