D.A.R. Awards West G Senior
Debby Kocsis, the registrar of the New Connecticut Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, visited West Geauga High School to award senior Jocelyn Moores with a $500 scholarship to be used for expenses other than tuition as she continues her education.
The D.A.R. is a women’s service organization dedicated to promoting historical preservation, education and patriotism. Jocelyn wrote an essay based on her own personal experience titled “Our American Heritage and Our Responsibility for Preserving It.”
Jocelyn was selected from a group of students in Lake and Geauga counties. The award is one of several awards and scholarships the class of 2021 received this year. The district produced an Awards Ceremony video to commemorate the outstanding accomplishments.
Bands Hold Outdoor Concert
The West Geauga High School bands performed on May 13 at the West Geauga Stadium. The steel, symphonic, jazz and concert bands all performed for parents and spectators. Directors Jason Branch and Taylor DeSapri planned and conducted the bands at the concert.
The band department also held separate concerts for the fifth- and sixth-grade bands and the seventh- and eighth-grade bands at the West Geauga Stadium.
All the performances were livestreamed and are available for viewing on the district’s YouTube channel.
