The Manchester Alumni Association is honored to announce the scholarships for these outstanding students of the Class of 2021.

The Alumni scholarships are made possible by the generosity of so many people with a connection to the Manchester community. Because of this, each year we are able to award more scholarships to so many deserving students who have put in years of hard work and dedication, and go on to prove that we have an outstanding educational system in our town.

Also, a huge THANK YOU must go out to the Alumni Scholarship Committee and Holly Kolcz, high school counselor, for getting the information out to the students and collecting the applications. So, thank you to: Laura Sutton-chairperson (1972), MaryKay Bailey (1963), Laurie Walz Sanders (1980), and Jennifer Bailey Strahle (1989).

So, to everyone in the Class of 2021, congratulations and welcome to the Manchester Alumni Association. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Association by email — mhsdutchalumn@yahoo.com.
