Lehighton Area High School senior awards

Lehighton Area High School honored its seniors with several awards prior to their graduation.

Susan Howland, principal, said an estimated $273,600 was given out by the district’s generous benefactors.

“LAHS would like to extend our deepest gratitude to those who have contributed generously, year after year, to our scholarship programs,” Howland said. “We also greatly appreciate all new scholarship opportunities. These scholarships highlight how our community supports and recognizes outstanding academic achievement. These monetary gifts given to our students will help pay towards the college education of their choice and dreams. These scholarships not only relieve some of the financial burden of a secondary education, they also publicly recognize the student’s efforts and their overall excellence as a student and individual. “
