REACH Scholarship a Reality to Four Seventh Graders

The REACH Scholarship is a need-based mentorship and scholarship program designed to provide Georgia’s academically promising students with the academic, social, and financial support needed to graduate from high school, access college, and achieve post-secondary success.  Students are chosen in middle school and must have certain qualifications to apply.   Dodge County applied and was accepted early this school year to be a part of Gov. Deal’s ground-breaking program.  Four eighth-graders were chosen in the fall to become the 2012 Dodge County REACH Scholars.  Four seventh graders recently joined them to become Dodge County's second class of scholars. Throughout the remainder of middle school and in high school, REACH scholars will receive academic and social support from school counselors and an adult mentor / role model.  These scholars must maintain strong grades, remain drug and alcohol free, meet with their mentor regularly, maintain good attendance and behavior, and develop educational and career plans.  After high school graduation REACH scholars will receive a college scholarship.  Dodge County Middle School is proud to announce the 2013 REACH Scholars:  Destanee Holliman, daughter of Hilda Jones and Teddy Hollimon; Jonathan Johnson, son of Tammy and Jonathan Johnson; Ashley Kilpatrick, daughter of Sally Kilpatrick; and Jayla Mitchell, daughter of Angela Cummings.  This second class joins our first class of scholars:   Robert Bush, son of Nancy and Joseph Bush;  Jamera Mitchell, granddaughter of Helen Mitchell;  Brian Peterson, son of DeCendr’ee Webb; Delila Svendsen, daughter of Shelley and George Svendsen; and, Danisha Walker, daughter of Joy Rollins and Danny Walker.
