Below are highlights from our most recent senior class. Not only did these students accomplish many of the goals they set for themselves, but they also earned tangible rewards for their hard work and dedication. One student secured full-time employment, while five students received acceptance into their top-choice colleges. Through guidance and support from Light Leadership Academy, students were awarded more than $147,000 in grants and scholarships beyond standard financial aid, merit awards, and state and federal student aid.
