More than 70 Carson High School (CHS) seniors were recognized Thursday night for collectively earning more than $10 million in local, national and college scholarships (a number that will continue to rise). Their accomplishments, which highlighted the academic success of the Class of 2024, were celebrated in an awards ceremony Thursday, May 23, at the Carson City Community Center.
“Tonight, we have students who will be attending colleges across the country - more than any other graduating class since before COVID,” said Dan Carstens, principal of Carson High School. “They’re going coast-to-coast from Dominican University of California in the Bay Area to Yale University in Connecticut. This scholarship group also represents an exceptional amount of first generation college students and Americans.”
The students applied to more than 650 scholarships available. Scholarships were presented for more than two hours by contributing organizations and representatives. To view the evening’s entire program and slideshow, please click here.
