Bryan ISD spotlights scholarship recipients, wrestlers and National Merit finalists
Summary
During its May meeting, Bryan ISD recognized nine Education Foundation scholarship recipients ($45,000 total), state wrestling athletes and two National Merit finalists, with principals and coaches introducing the students and noting upcoming competitions and honors.
The Bryan ISD board recognized students and staff for recent academic and athletic achievements.
Sarah Braden, executive director of the Education Foundation, announced the foundation awarded $45,000 in Alternative Certification Scholarships to support nine educators pursuing teacher certification. "The Education Foundation has awarded $45,000 in scholarships to both teachers and degreed paraprofessionals seeking their teacher certification credentials," Braden said as she called recipients to the front for recognition and photos.
Athletics staff, led by Derek Rush and area coaches, introduced state wrestling qualifiers and placers from Bryan High and Rudder High and highlighted a first state champion in Bryan High history. Coaches noted several student athletes advancing to national competitions later this month.
