Somerset Christian School junior wins scholarship, photo shoot Don't take from your community, Give back. McGregor N Scott II, Somerset, KY, winner of the KHEAA 'Promote Your School' essay contest. Kayla Marie Garrison, Adair County High School, Columbia, KY, earns Honorable Mention Click on headline for complete story By Tim Ballard News from Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) FRANKFORT, Ky. (September 11, 2014) - McGregor N. Scott II, a junior at Somerset Christian School, is the winner of the "Promote Your School" essay contest sponsored by the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA). He earned a $500 college scholarship and the opportunity for his school to be featured in future college planning materials published by KHEAA. He is the son of Greg and Amy Scott of Somerset. Scott chose to answer the topic "What a middle school student should do in high school to prepare for college." He focused on participating in extracurricular activities and community service as beginning "the journey of becoming a valuable contributor to your community." The contest, held annually since 2003, was open to all rising Kentucky high school juniors and offered a choice of four essay topics. Judges said his essay was "well-written, with a clear message" of civic participation. "Don't take from your community," Scott wrote. "Give back." His advice, judges said, was both insightful and helpful. "Good lessons not only for college, but for life," one judge said. KHEAA Chief Executive Officer Carl Rollins awarded Scott with a plaque on Thursday, Sept. 11, at his school, where he has a 4.1 GPA. He is president of Somerset Christian's Science, Technology, Engineering and Math club and is on the academic, soccer and baseball teams. Principal John Hale also accepted a plaque honoring Somerset Christian as the Kentucky 2015 Model School for being featured in upcoming marketing materials. Scott and other Somerset Christian students will participate in a photo shoot at the school. The pictures will be used by KHEAA in free college planning guides for high school students, as well as posters, brochures and other publications. Honorable mention awards went to Kayla Marie Garrison of Adair County High School, Abbey Mayes of Bardstown Bethlehem High School, Matthew Crain of LaRue County High School, Makenzie Davis of Owen County High School and Harrison Baldwin of Shelby County High School. Each received a certificate. KHEAA is the state agency that administers grants, Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES), work-study and savings programs.
