Ribault High School students were honored Thursday morning at a scholarship presentation that recognized their dedication and perseverance through their involvement in the Big Brother Big Sisters “Beyond School Walls” workforce readiness-mentoring program.
“Today is a day that we are celebrating seniors that have matched with mentors from Availity -- some for three years, some for as long as six years,” Sara Alford, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters Northeast Florida said. “In total, in partnership with Availity and Florida Prepaid, each of the students is going to be receiving a two-year full Florida college scholarship.”
“What’s amazing is they do it all with a mentor by their side and a friendship that’s really going to last them a lifetime,” Alford explained. “I would say job well done. I’m seeing you guys now and knowing where you were in middle school, I’ve done the job as a principal for 20 years,” Williams said.
