Seniors James Hornocker and Paris Warner were recently selected among 200 high school and college students to receive the Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship. The $10,000 renewable scholarship (up to $40,000) is for students who are pursuing an education degree and plan to teach in Indiana for at least 5 years upon graduation. Selected through a competitive process based on academic achievement and additional factors, students must continue to earn the scholarship in college by achieving a 3.0 cumulative GPA and complete at least 30 credit hours per year. While at APA, both James and Paris have prepared for a future in education by cadet teaching at the Pre-Academy and Elementary, respectively. Since the scholarship was created in 2017, five students from APA have benefited from this award. #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight
