DUBOIS – A DuBois Area High School senior is being recognized for turning leadership and community service into a future career in education.
Adalyn Witherite received the 2026 Frerichs Scholarship from the Pennsylvania School Boards Association Trust.
CEO Nathan Mains says the $2,500 award goes to students pursuing education related degrees who show leadership in school and their community.
“Leadership is a defining feature of her high school experience,” Mains said. “These roles reflect not only her ability to lead, but her commitment to inclusion, service, and teamwork.”
