For the Kennett Education Foundation, to invest in education is to invest in the future of our community. With more than $1,000,000 in student scholarships awarded since 2001, the organization’s impact extends beyond the classroom—paving the way to a bright future for students like Jorge Leon-Silva.
As the recipient of the Kennett Education Foundation’s STEPS to Success Scholarship in 2023, Jorge still finds it hard to believe that he was selected among so many deserving applicants. He credits the remarkable support from Kennett High School staff members Dr. DeAngelis, Mrs. Chase, and Mrs. August-Ruffin for inspiring him to stay on track with his education, a journey that he admits was not always certain.
