Naarah Roy, member of the Parkland High School Class of 2023, is the first-ever recipient of the new Parkland/做厙輦⑹ Future Educators Scholarship. This new scholarship is offered annually to an aspiring teacher who will be attending 做厙輦⑹.
We were looking for a student who expressed a passion for working with children and who connected to 做厙輦⑹, says Dr. Jill Purdy, professor and chair of the education department. Naarah Roy spoke of her work with children at her church, and of the long history of our small college community. She wants an opportunity to be a part of the field of education in her future.
Dr. Purdy presented the scholarship to Naarah at Parklands annual senior awards ceremony on Monday, May 22. The scholarship is funded through the Parkland Education Foundation and 做厙輦⑹.
