Learn, Lead and Serve Scholarships <strong>CHCA</strong> proudly announced the winners of the 7th Annual Learn, Lead and Serve Scholarship Competition. “These merit scholarships provide a way for us to recognize students in the class of 2018,” says Wendy Easterday, <strong>CHCA</strong> Admissions Counselor. The Learn Scholarships are awarded to students who score highest on our Freshman Entrance Exam, and the Lead and Serve Scholarships recognize students whose essays and resume experiences demonstrate a commitment to leadership and service. “I’m so excited to welcome these students to the high school in the Fall. As we’ve seen from past winners, our Learn, Lead, and Serve Scholars make a great impact in the high school and beyond. And two of our winners come from outside of <strong>CHCA</strong>, so we are thrilled to welcome them into our community!” added MSL High School Principal Dr. Dean Nicholas. The scholarships will be paid out to the recipients over their four years of high school at <strong>CHCA</strong>.
