Five high school seniors received the first-ever WRPS Family Scholarships for academic excellence recently.

The recipients of the $2,000 scholarships are the sons or daughters of WRPS employees.  They were selected on the basis of leadership, scholastic achievement and service.

“The scholarships are an excellent way for us to reward students for their hard work in the classroom and their involvement in school and community activities,” said Dave Olson, WRPS president and project manager.  “The scholarships also recognize their families for the commitment and sacrifices they have made in support of their son’s or daughter’s growth and education.”
