Reply Audrey Apahidean (Troy School District) Coca Cola Logo (Troy School District) Om Shah (Troy School District) Three TSD seniors at Troy and Athens High Schools are among only 23 semifinalists in the state of Michigan (out of only 1,609 semifinalists nationwide, selected from 99,403 applicants nationally, an impressive 1.6%) chosen for the 2021 class of the prestigious Coca‑Cola Scholars Program. Athens senior Audrey Apahidean and Troy seniors Abigail Liang and Om Shah are currently submitting their Semifinalist applications to be reviewed by the Program Reading Committee, with hopes to be selected as one of 250 Regional Finalists, and ultimately becoming Coca-Cola Scholars. The Coca-Cola Scholars Program scholarship is an achievement-based scholarship awarded to graduating high school seniors. Students are recognized for their capacity to lead and serve, as well as their commitment to making a significant impact on their schools and communities. THS semifinalist Abby Liang is proud of this designation. "Being recognized as a Semifinalist is an honor, and testament to my leadership, academics, and dedication to the community. At Troy High, I lead several clubs such as Project LEAD, where I ran a holiday food drive in 2018 raising over 2,600 items. That was perhaps one of my favorite moments of all my service activities in high school, organizing it with administrators, teachers, students, Gleaners Food Bank, and my club advisor Mrs. Loucks. I love that the motto of the Coca-Cola program is Refreshing the World, and I am excited to see where my service projects take me next!"
