Faculty and Staff,

It is time for Madison High to nominate students for the Roan Scholars Leadership Program at ETSU. ETSU is looking for nominees who are proven leaders respected by the faculty and their peers alike. The selection will be based on four criteria: evidence of character, leadership, intellectual curiosity and physical activity. Do not worry about whether or not the student is interested in attending ETSU; I will follow up with the student.

Please take a moment to nominate ONE senior for this excellent scholarship. I need the name of your nominee by Friday, August 28th. Thanks for your help-
