Two COHS Scholarships Awarded

Congratulations, Monique! Monique is one of two recipients of COHS scholarships sponsored by the Prince William Chamber of Commerce Foundation.

"I was halfway through my senior year when...I had to stop going to school to raise my son. I always wanted to go back to school and get my diploma. I want to prove to my kids that even though things get in your way, when you want something, keep working till you get it. Do not even stop reaching for your dreams. Now, I have raised five kids, and the youngest is about to graduate. I really would like to have my diploma on the wall with my kids."
