Born and raised in Fremont, Nebraska, Mitch started helping his father at the family construction business, Sawyer Construction, at the age of 12. Don Sawyer, Mitch’s grandfather, started Sawyer Construction in 1955. Upon graduating from Fremont High School in 2000, he enrolled at Metropolitan Community College in the construction technology program to strengthen the skills instilled in him at a young age by his father and grandfather.

He rehabilitated an old roll-off truck that his dad had purchased, but never had the opportunity to fix. That August, S2 started with one truck and one roll-off container. Mitch utilized his connections in the Fremont area to grow the business. In 2010, S2 started offering residential and commercial garbage and recycling pick up.

S2 has grown to over 8,000 customers in six counties, along with adding portable restroom rentals for construction projects and special events.

Continuing Student Scholarship and the Jonathan “Jon-Jon” Sherman Memorial Expendable Scholarship

How has this scholarship helped you achieve your goals?

“These scholarships have been a blessing because when COVID-19 started, I was unemployed. I spent so many nights wondering how I would afford my tuition. The scholarships have helped me get through a rough patch financially and helped me stay in school. If I did not receive them, I would have dropped out. I will forever be grateful for the MCC scholarships and the opportunities they have given me.

Thanks to MCC, I have been able to stay on track with my goal to graduate by 2022 and move on to get my bachelor’s.”

ANGIE LYNN WASHINGTON Program: Nursing

Peter Kiewit Foundation Vocational Scholarship

How has this scholarship helped you achieve your goals?

“I’m so grateful for the generosity of the donors at the Peter Kiewit Foundation for helping me achieve my goal to become a Certified Nurse Midwife. These funds eased the financial burden that comes with raising kids as a single mom while going to classes and doing clinical rotations as a nursing student. Metropolitan Community College created a program of study that fits the lifestyle of a non-traditional student like me. I feel empowered to care for my future clients.”

How has this scholarship helped you achieve your goals?

“I am on a fixed income and this scholarship will help me greatly in getting needed tools. I hope to repair and refinish old trucks that would otherwise just be forgotten or junked. It’s my hobby that I’d like to turn into my career, and now I will have the tools to do better work. I graduated from high school in the late 70’s and never had the time or money to go to college. I have been waiting to take classes at MCC for 40 years, and now I can finally pursue my dream.”
