The Gazette’s Best and Brightest scholarship program for graduating high school seniors in the Pikes Peak region is celebrating its 30th year.
Many past winners have gone on to become leaders in the community or around the state and nation.
“I like the diversity of this award we’ve had winners from charter schools, home schools, private schools and all 17 school districts in El Paso County,” said Deb Mahan, executive director of Gazette Charities, a philanthropic arm of The Gazette, Colorado Springs’ daily newspaper and multimedia company.
Twenty graduating seniors who have made contributions to their schools and communities each will be awarded $500.
