Gainesville Middle School students begin quest for $10,000 scholarships

Gainesville City School System recently hosted its second annual REACH Georgia Signing Day Ceremony. 

Five Gainesville Middle School scholars along with their parents signed "contracts" committing to satisfying REACH (Realizing Educational Achievement Can Happen) program requirements.  Gemima Ntekawa Deko, Abigail Goss, Naomi Reese, Cristian Reyes, and Jonathan Velasquez pledged to maintain good grades, behavior, and attendance as well as to graduate from high school and to enroll into college. 

Upon the satisfactory completion of all program requirements, these scholars will be awarded a $10,000 scholarship to a Georgia college or post-secondary institution of their choice.
