A member of the DCHS Class of 2017 addressed the Board of Education Thursday night thanking them for awarding her a scholarship.
Erica Birmingham, who will further her education at Belmont University, was one of three graduates at DCHS to receive a $700 scholarship presented by members of the Board of Education. Belmont University also awarded Birmingham a $16,000 scholarship.
“I am one of the three recipients of the DeKalb County Board of Education scholarships. I just personally want to tell you all, thank you. It means a lot to me. I plan to use the money to help with my college tuition. I’ll be going to Belmont University where I will be majoring in commercial voice. This is a huge step for me toward my dream of becoming a professional singer and songwriter. I just wanted to say thank you for supporting me and helping me reach my goal. Thank you so much,” said Birmingham in addressing the school board.
