Attention Seniors! Worthy Family Scholarship:
The Worthey Family Foundation has been a long time contributor to our graduating seniors here at East. The Foundation was set up by Jim Worthey, a gentleman who was born and raised in this community, who has desired to help through his family. Jim Sr. has since passed, but his son and grand daughters continue to carry on this transition by establishing this scholarship fund for our students. Please advise all seniors to apply. They will be required to submit income tax returns in a sealed envelope along with other required documents. They will also be required to be interviewed. See Ms. Lyda for an application.
