Our Delta Contra Costa Branch’s annual celebration of the leading scholars at local high schools will be held Thurs., April 14 at the Antioch Senior Center, 415 W. 2^nd Street at 7-8:30 pm. Members may come to set-up starting at 5:30 pm.

Each year ten outstanding senior scholars are selected from Antioch, Deer Valley, and Pittsburg High Schools. A list of students with a 3.5 GPA and above is given to the teaching staff, who choose the students. In addition to their GPA, they  consider school and extra-curricular activities. Jane Wilkins and Sally Massey co-ordinate for Antioch and Jan Kuhl worked with Pittsburg.

This event has been a favorite tradition in our branch.  We will be presenting certificates to the top 30 students in front of their families and friends. Susan Ten Eyck, a principal in the Antioch Unified School District will be the guest speaker.
