2019 Recipients
David ReedA graduate of Cannelton High School, David Reed has excelled both academically as well as with his extracurricular activities. David’s commitment to serving his community has been obvious to those who know him.
“Throughout high school David has been an active participant of many sports and clubs while maintaining a part-time job. Even with a full plate, David is always the first student to volunteer for any fundraiser, dance, and community service event,” said Cannelton High School Student Council Sponsor Makala Kellems. “David is nothing short of a role model to his peers and to this community.” In addition to maintaining honor role status, David was a three-year member of both the National Honor Society and the Pep Club, and a four-year member of Student Government. He also competed all four years on the Baseball team, the Basketball team (including serving his senior year as team captain), and the Cross-Country team. David plans to attend either Western Kentucky University or Indiana State University in the fall. |
Alexandria EtienneAs one of Perry Central’s five co-valedictorians, Alexandria Etienne’s excellence in the academic area was obvious. However, her commitment to serving others and giving back to her community were equally important as is evidenced by her list of extracurricular involvement. Alexandria was a member of the Spanish Club, Art Club, Literary Club, German Club, Key Club, We the Youth, 4-H, FFA, National Honor Society, STAND (Students Taking Action Not Drugs), HOSA (Health Occupation Students Association), and was honored as Student of the Month, served Perry County’s Angel Tree Program, at St. Augustine Church, and at Farm to Table events. As a 4-H member she not only taught rabbit and poultry workshops to younger members, but she earned that program’s Leadership Award. She volunteers at an area animal hospital and regularly assisted fellow students in the classroom.
Alexandria plans to attend the University of Southern Indiana in the fall to begin working toward a career in the health field. “The best thing about Alexandria, though, is her sincere desire to help others,” stated Perry Central teacher Mary Jo Hagedorn. “She cares about others and wants to make a difference in this world. |
Grace Kreilein
Tell City High School graduate Grace Kreilein intends to make giving back a lifelong goal.
“Southern Indiana currently has a shortage of skin specialists, which makes it difficult for patients to get the immediate attention they need; therefore, after I have completed medical school, I plan to take my advanced expertise in dermatology back to Tell City. My end goal is to be able to communities and people in need,” said Grace in her application essay.
Grace has demonstrated her this same commitment throughout her high school career as was demonstrated by the numerous groups and organizations with which she was involved. Those groups included National Honor Society, Student Council, Pep Club, Renaissance, Spanish Club, Student Steering Committee, March of Dimes, Spencer County Animal Shelter, We the Youth, United Way Day of Caring, and her church. It was through one of the two Church Mission trips she participated in when she learned the value of contributing of her skills and time.
“This experience taught me the importance of giving back to people who are in need…. I felt as though I had made a difference in this family’s life.”
Grace plans to major in Biology at Indiana University in the fall.
Schweizer Fest Inc. congratulates each of these individuals on their scholarship awards. We feel you both have a bright future in store, and we wish you the best. To date, Schweizer Fest, Inc has given a total of more than $32,000 in scholarships to Perry County students.
