Students from Ada win scholarships from Hardin and Allen counties
Two Ada residents have been awarded 2022 Franklin B. Walter Scholar honors. Molly Sheets earned Allen County honors as a student at Lima Senior High School. Dexter Woods III earned Hardin County honors as a student at Ada High School.
Sheets plans to attend Juniata College to major in Journalism/Communications.
Woods plans to attend Kettering University to major in Mechanical Engineering.
The Franklin B. Walter All-Scholastic Award Program was established by the Ohio Educational Service Center Association (OESCA) to promote and recognize outstanding academic achievement. The award is named in honor of Dr. Franklin B. Walter, who served as State Superintendent of Education for Ohio from March 1977 until August 1991. Throughout his career, Walter exemplified concern for young people and dedicated his life to the improvement of education in Ohio.
Eligible students must be a high school senior enrolled in a public school district—local, city or exempted village—within an ESC service region. Recipients demonstrate outstanding academic achievement as indicated by high school grades, test scores, school activities, awards, and community involvement.
