As of today, students have been awarded a total of $5,095,080 in scholarship dollars, or an average of $68,852 per student!

Perhaps most impressively, 59 students (nearly 80%) have indicated that they will be pursuing a STEM field after graduating from DRSS.

We would also like to congratulate our Valedictorian, Joel Baker, and Salutatorian, Sophia Lucas, on their outstanding achievements, as well as all of our STEM Scholars: Marc Ayala, Fatima Boumahchad, and Katie Marker, all of whom achieved the highest possible GPA during their time at DRSS and chose to participate in the Val/Sal selection process.

Finally, congratulations to our Distinguished Scholars, each of whom maintained a cumulative 3.9 GPA during their time at DRSS: Hiba Ahmad, Dena Back, Kayla Cindric, Lauren Drewing, Ray Hampton, Callie Heiligenberg, Madeline Kelly, Edward Love II, Quan Nguyen, Vyshnavi Ramini, and Melonie Sherman.

We are proud to recognize all of our graduating students at the Dayton Masonic Temple on May 27, 2017 at 1PM.
