Money!
Now that we have your attention, we ask that all seniors who are planning to attend a college, university, community college, trade school, or other post-secondary institution continue reading.
Hazelwood NEA, the association that represents teachers in HSD, is offering a $500 scholarship to students throughout the district who are continuing their education next year. The Mary Jo Giessman Memorial Scholarship is awarded to senior students who demonstrate the impact that their teachers have had on their studies and other aspects of their lives. Here is a quick rundown of facts about the scholarship:

B) Students must be seniors who have been accepted into a post-secondary institution to be eligible.
