During the annual Hutchinson High School Awards Assembly Wednesday (May 8, 2013) the HHS graduating class of 2013 was recognized with scholarships and awards.
The Davis Foundation winners were named. Winners, who each get $6,000 in scholarship money annually for four years, are Natalie Davis and Alonso Talamantes. Other finalists were T.J. Blake, Savannah Engel, Sam Galliart and Madison Schrock. The other finalists each get $4,000 a year in scholarship money for four years.
Talamantes’ sister, Alma Talamantes Henry, was a Davis Foundation winner when she graduated in 2005. Henry now teaches literature and reading for USD 308 at Hutchinson Middle School – 7.
This is the 59th year for the Davis Foundation scholarships. During that time, more than 200 students have received scholarships valued at more than $1.7 million. When the first scholarships were awarded in the 1950s, the scholarships were $500 a year for four years.
Davis Foundation teachers of the year for USD 308 will be announced in August at the opening convocation for district staff.
The Young American Award went to T.J. Blake. The Young American Award is the oldest award at HHS with this being its 84th year. The award was started by the Oswald family in the 1920s.
Other Young American Award finalists were Brody Ackley, Kaley Bohlen, Natalie Davis, Savannah Engel, Tanner Higgins, Katlyn Meggers, Allison Reiser, Alonso Talamantes and Joey Wood.
