SCSD Salutes Honor Students

On the evening of April 28, faculty, friends and family gathered to honor the best and brightest of Susquehanna Community High School’s students. The occasion was induction into the Susquehanna Chapter of the National Honor Society, held at a dinner and ceremony at the Starrucca House.

Committee member and teacher John Seigle acted as emcee for the ceremony; he began by introducing Heather Warneke, president of the class of 2004, who welcomed all in attendance. Invocation was given by teacher Mark McHale.

After dinner, Amanda Fallon, vice president of the class of 2004, introduced the evening’s guest speaker, Susquehanna Borough’s former mayor and current County Commissioner, Roberta Kelly. Mrs. Kelly’s remarks included thanks for the opportunity to address such a distinguished group; not only the gifted students being recognized, but their supportive families, and some of the finest teachers involved in education today. She urged students to develop a passion for positive change, as she had and to seek a life filled with purpose and rewards. "One must find a course in life," she said; hers had led to public service. In following that course, she learned that it takes action, not words, to accomplish goals. "I also learned that not every effort would lead to success. With a vision and a strong work ethic, the satisfying victories will always outweigh the occasional failure. Either way, there is a sense of accomplishment because a challenge, or any struggle with adversity, was faced instead of ignored. You must always rise to the challenge; no one else can do it but you, even though many may help along the way." Mrs. Kelly cited some of the endeavors she has been involved in, not all of which were successful. But, she had felt proud to have played a part in initiating them. Her achievements, she said, reinforced her core beliefs. She outlined some fundamental principles that would help to adapt and grow in surroundings that will test us every day; always prepare, speak with integrity, organize around a purpose, and stand up to adversaries. Finally, surround yourself with good people. "Many of my accomplishments," she said, "were due in part because of the help of many hardworking and caring people." In closing, Mrs. Kelly read a poem written by Mother Teresa entitled, "Do It Anyway."

Following Mrs. Kelly’s remarks, students Claressa Price, Daniel Frechen, Amanda Russell, Shasta Treadway, Katherine McHale, Nicholas Canzoneri and Brent Soden lit candles symbolizing knowledge, scholarship, service, leadership, character and citizenship.

Certificates were presented to inductees by Carol McNamara, George Moore and Michael Lisowski.

Current senior class members inducted, as well as their plans for continuing education are as follows: Patricia Albrecht, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Albrecht, Broome Community College, Music Education; Joseph Barnes, son of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Barnes, Bucknell University, Mechanical Engineering; A.

Following presentation of certificates, high school principal Michael Lisowski thanked the committee for organizing the evening, and Commissioner Kelly for attending. He spoke of the pride in the local community he has witnessed, and congratulated the scholars, saying, "You did a great job to be here. You’re well on your way to get where you should be."

Closing remarks were made by Superintendent Bronson Stone, who commended the students on their hard work and dedication. He noted that one tenet of the Honor Society, leadership, is a responsibility. "You have a responsibility to be leaders; it is a great role. It affects not only your life, but that of the people around you. It benefits not only you, but your classmates, your teachers, the administration."

Mr. Charles Fuller, Mr. David Lee, Mr. Michael Lisowski, Mrs. Carol McNamara, Mr. George Moore, Mr. John Seigle, and Mrs. Corinne Sohns comprise the faculty committee.

Also present at the banquet were school board members Mrs. Johnine Barnes, Mrs. Patricia Stewart, Mrs. Mary Wescott; Superintendent Bronson Stone.

People's Bank Meets Scholarship Families

It is not often that businesses enjoy the opportunity to direct their tax dollars to benefit their own community in a way they choose. People’s National Bank Executive Vice President Debbie Dissinger sees this as one of the best features of the Susquehanna County Community Foundation’s Tax Credit Scholarships.

Because of generous 75 to 90 percent tax credits available through the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, People’s National Bank’s $10,000 contribution will deliver $80,000 in scholarships to families within the bank’s service area over the next two years.

On April 14 checks went to out from the Community Foundation office to pay K-12 tuition bills for 14 families and 23 children. This first round of recipient families will receive over $40,000 in scholarships this year. Sixty percent of the families are from Susquehanna County, 31 percent are from Wyoming County and nine percent are from other nearby communities.

People’s National Bank President Jack Ord and EVP Dissinger met the families at a Community Foundation reception, and heard each family’s story in person. These hard-working working parents have, for years demonstrated a deep commitment to their children’s education. The scholarships let them know that the business community recognizes and supports those efforts.

In thanking People’s National Bank and the Community Foundation, which administers the program, recipients described how the donations "lifted the burden" from them and their children; the scholarships allowed them to keep children in specialized programs, choose a private school alternative consistent with their values, and enable home schooling moms to stay at home. One family in the midst of medical crises was assured that their children’s education was uninterrupted.

This program is open to help with tuition for public and private schools. Two new components awaiting donors would give money directly to a school district for improved programs for core curriculum and to pay tuition for before school, after school, and summer time child care. At least four school districts are seeking funds for programs such as computer technology, servicing gifted children, arts and cultural programs and environmental education.

In addition to receiving tax credits, dollar for dollar up to 90 percent of their donations, corporations and S corporations participating in this program may direct their tax credit dollars into the educational need they choose.

For more information contact Joseph Burke at the Community Foundation of Susquehanna County 36 Lake Avenue, Montrose PA 18801, 570- 278-3800, foundation@epix.net.

Melanie DeWitt Awarded Local Scholarship

Melanie DeWitt, daughter of Donald and Mary Beth DeWitt of Susquehanna was recently awarded the Claire Williams O’Neil Scholarship. Claire Williams O’Neil (1928-1980) was a teacher in the Susquehanna Community School District for over twenty years. Because of her dedication to education and the community, the Claire Williams O’Neil Foundation, a non-profit institution that sponsors educational and charitable initiatives on a community level, awards this scholarship to reflect her belief in the importance of education, both to the individual and to the community.


The scholarship is awarded annually to a Susquehanna Community High School student who has achieved a minimum of a 90% cumulative grade point average at the end of eleventh grade, and also possesses a sincere desire to pursue high quality university studies with the potential to contribute meaningfully to the community. The award is an $80,000 scholarship, paying $20,000 per year for four years.

The O’Neil Foundation interviewed Miss DeWitt and three other finalists. Melanie feels, "This scholarship offers a great opportunity to Susquehanna Community High School students by encouraging them to apply to and attend colleges and universities they may have not otherwise considered."

Melanie has been very active throughout her high school career in such activities as National Honor Society, Scholastic Bowl, Envirothon, volleyball, drama club, and track. Ms. DeWitt will be attending Georgia Institute of Technology, home of the "Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets" and will be majoring in Chemical Engineering.
