Diana Harford, Principal, Connections Visual and Performing Arts Academy says, “What has amazed me is that since the recession first hit the amount of scholarships dollars that has gone to our students has actually stayed the same or gone up in the last six years.  It’s really impressive.”

Also, impressive are the 43 scholarships totaling $19,325 that will be given out to Cassina High School, Theodore Bird High School and Sonora Adult School students at their graduation ceremony on June 4.  Sonora and Summerville students have already received their scholarships at separate award ceremonies earlier this month.
