Education Scholarship

The 2nd Annual Holiday with a Hero Golf Tournament takes place on Saturday, June 17, 2023, and there is still space for those last-minute teams who want to participate.

Greater Nevada Credit Union has awarded 30 Nevada students with scholarships to continue their academic pursuits through the GNCU Scholarship Program.

They’re our next paramedics, nursing assistants, machinists, mechatronics engineers and computer information technologists. But, right now, they can’t afford the higher education training those fields require.

If you know Shanell Cavener, then you are tremendously lucky. If you work with her, or she taught you, then the luck is multiplied tenfold (hopefully this is the right math to use, Shanell?).

Shanell Cavener is this year’s Carson High School Teacher of the Year, and she could not be more deserving of the honor. Shanell is quiet, often working behind the scenes in ways people would not even realize in order to benefit the lives of all who enter CHS.

Editor’s Note: Patt Quinn-Davis is adviser for the Carneta yearbook. She also teaches Honors American Literature and English IV. Before jumping into teaching, Quinn-Davis worked many years at The Nevada Appeal as city government reporter, columnist, and city editor. She was also editor of The Nevada Appeal and previously was editor of The Daily Democrat newspaper in Woodland, Calif.

He is the fearless leader of Carson High School, and he is taking his teachers through uncharted territory in order to guide them into successfully teaching and caring for their students during this time of uncertainty. His name is Gavin Ward, and he is doing a fantastic job as the Principal of CHS, being both available and supportive while encouraging teachers, students, and even parents to engage their students with much-needed health, hope and heterochromatic learning.

Dr. Samir Pancholi of Las Vegas is pleased to announce that the second annual Pancholi Scholarship for Nevada Educators is now accepting applications. The $2,000 scholarship was developed to help support our next generation of teachers in an effort to help encourage educators to pursue their passion.

The list of local students who received scholarships were announced at the Salute to Scholars Program. Listed below are the students; congratulations!
