Grafton High School

Congratulations to our EDGE Scholarship recipients! The $1,000 EDGE Scholarship was presented to four GHS seniors completing a CTE concentration and pursuing a related major at Pierpont Community and Technical College. This year's recipients included Gage McVicker (Information Management), Bailee Workman and Kathlynn (Katie) Thompson (ProStart Restaurant Management), and Emily Cather (Therapeutic Services). The Pierpont EDGE (Earn a Degree, Graduate Early) to Success Scholarship also provides an opportunity for high school students to earn corresponding credit hours depending on the alignment of the CTE concentration and Pierpont major/program of study.
