$1 MILLION IN SCHOLARSHIPS
By BILL CRIST
“Cameron has always supported Yoe High School and its students to make this possible.”
That’s how Yoe Principal Tommy Hooker summed up Sunday night’s award ceremony, where more than $1 million in scholarships were awarded to the class of 2009.
According to Hooker, students from the class will attend 40 different colleges, universities and technical schools. He listed the various UIL competitions at which Yoe High School had excelled this year, including; golf, tennis, track and cross country, Div. I honors for the band and the One-Act Play reaching state-alternate status.
At the ceremony Jonathan McAtee was recognized as Valedictorian and Carly Humphrey as Salutatorian.
McAtee says that he will be attending Southwestern University in Georgetown.
“I plan on majoring in International Studies with a Political Science concentration and European focus, and I am interested in attending law school after I receive my undergraduate degree.”
Humphrey says she will “attend Texas A&M in College Station where I will pursue a degree in Nutritional Sciences. I plan to attend medical school after receiving my undergraduate degree where I will study to become a pediatrician.”
Mr. and Miss Yoe High School were named. Mr. Yoe High School is Philip Nickerson and Miss Yoe High School is Shelby Leonard.
A complete listing of scholarships earned and additional photos are on page 16 of today’s Herald.
THE PRE-CEREMONY RECEPTION WAS SPONSORED BY THE J.L. AND BONNELLE CALLAWAY AND THE BEATRICE AND LESTER WILLIAMS FOUNDATIONS.
