RHS holds awards day
Russellville High School held the annual seniors’ Honors Night May 11 in the high school auditorium. Representatives from many universities and community colleges presented scholarships to graduating seniors. Community scholarships were also presented.
According to counselor Tiffany Warhurt, to date, the Class of 2017 earned more $2 million with the community scholarships alone exceeding $70,000 of that amount. “We are very appreciative of our community for the support they provide our graduates,” Warhurst said. “That investment in our graduates will one day pay off for the city of Russellville.”
