North High graduate receives scholarship
Megan Schimmel of Hagerstown recently was awarded a $1,000 scholarship from the Washington County Arts Council.
The scholarship is available to a county high school senior continuing his or her education at a college, university or technical school and who plans to pursue a career in the arts.
Schimmel graduated from North Hagerstown High School and soon will choose between the University of Utah Ball program and the Mercyhurst College Dance Program, where she plans to major in ballet.
She was nominated for the scholarship by Lauran Clowser, director of the City Ballet in Hagerstown. Schimmel has been a soloist and taken classes with City Ballet for the past eight years.
