2012 Miss Pearl Birmingham Scholars Announced Sixteen seniors have been named Birmingham Scholars for 2012 and were officially recognized at a banquet held in their honor on May 8, 2012. Culled from the top 10 percent of their classes, the students were selected based on SAT and ACT scores, class ranking, good moral character and must have received all their grades from a Wylie ISD high school. In addition, each completed an autobiography and personal interview with three judges representing superintendents from Dallas, Collin and Rockwall counties.
From Wylie East, recipients are Kalyn Blassingame, Tyler Brandon, Abanoub Eskander, Chance Grantham, Mark Pollard, Jocelyn Townsend, Victoria Warren and Bryce Whitling. Recipients from Wylie High are Erica Amos, Christina Chatterpaul, Jacqueline Elwood, Seth Hiddink, Marshal McClure, Lauren Pybus, Pido Tran and Amy Wickett. The Miss Pearl Birmingham Scholarship fund was established in 1947 by T.F. Birmingham to comply with a request by his sister, Pearl, who died in 1946. In her will, she left 1,000 shares of common stock in Standard Oil Company of Ohio to support an annual scholarship for an outstanding Wylie graduate. Today the fund supports sixteen scholarships valued from $2,500 to $15,000. |
