Several
Mountain Area high school graduates were honored recently with $500 scholarships.
The scholarships were presented by the El Capitan Foundation, together
with Yosemite Bank, Sierra Telephone Company, Walt Banning Drilling Company,
Oakhurst Sierra Rotary and Dwight Barnes.
The El Capitan Educational Foundation was founded by Priscilla Pike to
encourage students to use local community college centers for embarking
on higher educational goals, thus helping to better develop and grow local
higher educational facilities. Ms. Pike’s vision was to have a local full-fledged
community college center, where the curriculum addresses the unique and
distinctive academic needs of this community.
Anyone
interested in joining the El Capitan Foundation is welcomed to contact
Ms. Pike for further information. Her number is 642-2004.
