The 30th annual Hamilton County Youth Service Awards ceremony will take place at 4:15 p.m. on Monday, May 8 at the Government & Judicial Center in Noblesville.
The ceremony is sponsored by the Hamilton County Commissioners and the Hamilton County Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs (HCCOAOD) as part of its ongoing effort to recognize outstanding service by youth in our community.
“We are proud of each of the applicants that have chosen to lead a drug-free lifestyle and contribute their time to help make positive changes in the lives of others,” HCCOAOD Executive Director Monica Greer.
Each school winner was selected by his or her school’s counseling department. This year’s nominees include Liam Courtney from Carmel High School, Victoria Chambers from Hamilton Heights High School, Mrithula Karunamurtha from Hamilton Southeastern High School, Nicole Liu from Noblesville High School, Jacquellynne Bates from Sheridan High School, and Isabella Grady from Westfield High School.
A selection committee made up of employees of the probation department screened the applications using a set criterion to select an overall winner of the $1,000 scholarship. Each finalist not selected as the overall winner will receive a $300 scholarship.
