Blanchester High School held its annual senior awards ceremony on Thursday, May 17.

Several students received recognition and scholarships. Many of these scholarships have been funded by donations to the Blanchester Schools Foundation. This year, the Foundation awarded more than $85,000 in scholarships, including the Iva Jean (Irvin) and Raymond Norman Carnahan Scholarship, which is given to students pursuing bachelor’s degrees at Wilmington College. The scholarship is in the amount of $10,000 per year for four years, provided the student is in good standing throughout their academic career.

This year, two recipients were selected for this generous scholarship. Erin Whitaker, representing the First National Bank of Blanchester and the Blan Schools Foundation, presented the scholarships to Bradley Brown and Nathan Campbell.

The Blanchester Alumni Association awarded two $1,000 scholarships each year and the recipients of these were Emma Falgner and Kaylee Paugh.

The Harold McLaughlin Engineering Scholarship is a new scholarship this year. Jeffrey Allen created the scholarship in honor of his grandfather, and he and Bill McLaughlin presented $1,000 to Makayla Lanham.

The Carlton and Carolyn Binkley Scholarship is awarded to a student who will study teacher education. This $1,000 scholarship was awarded to Emma Falgner.

The Jennifer Aubrey Carter Nursing Scholarship was presented by Dr. Jill Garrett, Gay Davis and Stacy Aubrey Herdman to Ainsley Whitaker for $1,000.

The $500 Ledford Family Scholarship was presented to Zoey Hupp.

Jenny Hartman presented two Theater Department awards to Gabe Faulkner for $250 and Kaylee Paugh for $500.

The Blanchester Schools Foundation is very proud of these incredible and talented students and wishes them continued success in pursuing their dreams, according to a press release.
