Stratford seniors have earned more than $6.7 million dollars in merit scholarships. These 46 seniors were recognized at a special assembly on Friday, April 6. 

The $6.7 million is a Stratford record, and does not count HOPE scholarship money.

“This is the most money we have ever brought in,’’ Upper School Principal Mrs. Margaret Brogdon said. “This is a bigger class but nonetheless, it is a big amount of money. When I think about this class, I was not stunned at the amount they earned in scholarship money because there are several strong students in this class.”

Here is a list of seniors and their scholarships.
