Sturgeon Bay High School graduate Alayna Corbisier has earned the first Helen Schreiber Allen P.E.O. Scholarship. Helen Schreiber Allen established the $1,000 scholarship to promote women’s education. Corbisier plans to major in environmental studies at UW-Stevens Point.

Amanda Puccini of Southern Door High School and Hailey Gaedtke of Kewaunee High School are two of 16 area seniors to earn a $750 scholarship from Cellcom. 

Recipients were selected on the basis of community involvement, academic record, potential to succeed, leadership and participation in school activities, honors, work experience, an essay on community impact, county of residence and plans to enroll in a full-time undergraduate course of study at an accredited two- or four-year college, university or technical school.

Northeast Wisconsin Technical College (NWTC) is one of 12 two-year colleges to receive a grant from the USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture. NWTC will use the funds to strengthen its agriculture programs through equipment purchases that incorporate more hands-on simulations in classrooms, such as operating a tractor and combine.
