Scholarship Awards Night
Every year, from local donors, thousands of dollars are given as scholarships to LHS students. These students must reach a criteria, write essays, hand in transcripts, and go above and beyond to receive the scholarships. This year, on June 11, 2015, a group of students came together to receive these different scholarships to help them pay for their next step in education. Many of these students will be attending universities or colleges and everyone can use help with payments. These LHS Seniors have worked so hard throughout the year and deserve the awards they’ve received. On behalf of Lodi High School, thank you to all of the people who donate. Each year you help students with their futures and that is beyond amazing.
Congratulations to all award recipients and good luck in your future endeavors!
