Brush Alumni Association
2011 Scholarships
On May 18, 2011
the Brush High cafeteria was the scene of the annual Senior Scholarship Dinner.
Proud seniors who held a GPA of 3.0+ and their parents/families enjoyed a
delicious pasta dinner and dessert.
However, the best “treats” served were in the form of monetary scholarships,
given to many worthy seniors.
The Brush
Alumni Association was proud to be a part of this celebration, administrating
twelve scholarships, which totaled over $10,000!
