✨#HADSCscholarshipspotlight: Madison Lewis-Yang✨ My name is Madison Lewis-Yang and I am a graduate of Catholic Central High School l in the Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board. I am attending Fanshawe College in the Commercial Flight and Aviation Leadership (Aeronautics) Program. My career goal is to become a commercial airline pilot. As a young Black woman aspiring pilot, I am determined to break racial and sexist barriers in fields where many people who look like me are underrepresented. I want to be successful in my career and inspire young Black girls to see themselves in aviation and well-respected careers. Growing up, I rarely saw people who looked like me in the field of aviation, and I want to change that by showing that the sky has no limits. As a Black woman, I want to be known for my achievements and excellence through my future aviation career. After post-secondary school, I hope to be flying for a regional or major airline, gaining real-world experience while continuing to grow both professionally and personally. To me aviation is more than just a career because it represents freedom, exploration, and endless possibilities. My dream is to become a pilot, not only to achieve personal success but also to expand the number of female pilots in the male-dominated aviation field. This is my journey to committing to aviation and becoming an airline pilot in the future. When I become a pilot through education, I plan to give back to the community and society by inspiring and educating young Black girls about opportunities in aviation. As aviation is costly, I want to launch an affordable program of mentorship and training for young girls to live out their dreams and work towards a future. I would love to establish my own organization for all Black youth aspiring to be pilots, providing the cost for flight training, medical tests, equipment, and mentorship for pilots all over Canada. 🌟Madison Lewis-Yang received the Hilda Watkins ETFO Scholarship of $2,000.🌟 🌟Congratulations, Madison Lewis-Yang!🌟 @_myang07 #HADSCScholarship #HADSC #UGRR #BlackHistory365 #WECDSB #BlackExcellence #Aviation #BlackWomenInSTEM #SkyHasNoLimits

#HADSCscholarshipspotlight: Micah Moore My name is Micah Moore and I am a graduate of Assumption High School in the Windsor-Essex Catholic School Board. I am attending Wayne State University enrolled in the Marketing Management and Jazz studies programs. On thing I've always been interested in through my time in high school is the study of marketing. One day I am hoping to work somewhere that are within the lines of marketing or running my own business. Some extra curricular activities that I have done through my high school career are band, jazz band, basketball team, wrestling team, and track team. Sports has always been a big thing for me while I was in high school because of how fun they were. While getting older I realized that all of the extra curricular activities that I have done, really helped me with my time management skills which are something that I will really need later in my life. Some community involvement that I have participated in last school year was the Detroit Marathon Hydration Station. A lot of students from Assumption high school helped with this marathon because one of my teachers in the school was responsible for working the hydration station. This was a really good experience and I found it very entertaining and motivating to watch all of the marathon runners pass me. 🌟 Micah Moore received the Elizabeth Washington Memorial Scholarship and Michael Shreve Memorial Scholarship of $2,000.🌟 ✨Congratulations, Micah Moore!✨ @micah_bmoore7 #HADSCScholarship #HADSC #UGRR #BlackHistory365 #WECDSB #BlackExcellence

✨#HADSCscholarshipspotlight: Gabriella Hurst🌟 My name is Gabriella Hurst and I am a graduate of Catholic Central High School in the Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board. I am attending St.Clair College enrolled in the Early Childhood Education program. I have felt passionate about this line of work since the age of 9 from having inspiration through my schooling and past teachers, I then too have had inspiration from just working with my younger siblings and cousins. I have been involved in several extracurricular activities and have had plenty of community involvement all in my time as a high school student from catholic central. My extracurricular activities have led me to be a part of so many special sports, clubs, event nights, etc. at my high school such as my basketball team, track and field, band club, development and peace club, and a huge one would definitely be my SAC (Student Advisory Council) at my school that I have been a part of for the four year I have attending Catholic Central. Some of my community involvement has led me to having so many special opportunities and doors open for potential placement/work options such as a leader at Muskoka Woods, helping at my parish, helping my school community, and helping past staff members at my old grade school. Not only have both extracurricular activities and community involvement helped me grow as a person, but I will now have bonds with some of my current friends, staff members, and others who I have helped in my times of service that will last me a lifetime. 🌟 Gabriella Hurst received the Evelyn & Lornie Hurst Sr. Memorial Scholarship of $2,000.🌟 ✨Congratulations, Gabriella Hurst!✨ #TheHourADayStudyClub #ScholarshipRecipient #BlackExcellence #UndergroundRailroadDescendant #CommunityLegacy #BlackYouthSuccess #WindsorProud
