Top of the Class 2021 MSBA Student School Board Member Scholarships Awarded to Baleigh Peterson and Morgan Hoong By Greg Abbott, MSBA Director of Communications, and Bruce Lombard, MSBA Associate Director of Communications
Gibbon-Fairfax-Winthrop High School student Baleigh Peterson and Fairmont High School student Morgan Hoong were named recipients of the 2021 MSBA Student School Board Member Scholarship during the spring. More than 100 school districts have student school board members on their board, giving direct input on issues that affect their learning. The MSBA Student School Board Member Scholarship Committee reviewed 50 applications and narrowed the applicants to two $3,000 winners. This scholarship award is given as a way to reward and encourage students to become involved in governance of their school and for them to learn about the importance of having locally-elected school board members.
