COLONIST SPIRIT AWARD
It was a proud day for past and present Anaheim Colonists who were recognized at the Senior Awards Assembly. The AHSAA Scholarship Committee, headed by Jerry Woodward, presented the first Colonist Spirit Award to Kymberly Alvarez.
The $1000 Scholarship will help Kymberly who is enrolling this fall at UCLA where she will study Environmental Engineering. She was selected for her well-rounded background in academics, extra-curricular activities and pride in being a Colonist.
While at Anaheim, she started a popular student-run dance club and served as a mentor for at-risk youth. AHS English teacher Sara Wood described Alvarez as “an inspirational leader and innovator.”
2009 COLONIST STANDOUTS: (l-r) Top six finalists of the first AHSAA Colonist Spirit Award were Irvin Rodriguez, Ana Montoya, Stephanie Ibarra, Reyna Hernandez and Kymberly Alvarez. They were recognized for their outstanding achievements at the recent Senior Awards Assembly.
