Only 50 high school seniors have been recognized as 2010 Horatio Alger Georgia Scholars, but four of those students attend Atlanta Public Schools. Please congratulate Kamalia Blunt and Shaeroya Earls of Booker T. Washington High School, as well as LaToria Dixon and Amanda Harrison of Frederick Douglass High. Each student will receive a college scholarship totaling $5,000 from the O. Wayne Rollins Foundation.
APS graduates from the class of 2009 amassed more than $92 million in scholarship offers, so look for this year’s graduating class to meet — and hopefully exceed — that number. Also, special thanks to Principal Sharonda Murrell of the Douglass School of Communication & Journalism for spreading the good news.
