Last year Trevor was Crook County High School’s first student of the month. According to English teacher Julie Swinehart says, “Trevor is a person who isn’t afraid of hard work and helping others.” Ann Kasberger, guidance counselor, says that Trevor has a passion for math and science and “although I am not certain what career Trevor will ultimately choose, I am certain that he will give it 100%…also certain that the community in which he establishes himself will be better off because he is there…” Please help us in celebrating this outstanding Central Oregon student.
Each month TCF accepts nominations for outstanding high school seniors who maintain a 3.5 or higher GPA, display leadership in school activities, and participate in recognizable community volunteer efforts. TCF board reviews the nominations and selects a student to receive the monthly honor.

High Desert Heroes are eligible to compete for the prestigious William K Worrell Scholarship of $5,000. All High Desert Heroes will be acknowledged at the May 6, 2015, Scholarship Awards Dinner.
