Beechwood senior Ruby Fries has been awarded the Jordan G. McFaull Scholarship, a scholarship administered through Horizon Community Funds, that honors the legacy of Beechwood alumnus Jordan McFaull, who died from complications of type 1 diabetes in 2015.
Fries has earned a 4.4 GPA, was named a Kentucky Governor’s Scholar, is a National Honor Society member, is a winning member of the school’s track and field relay team, and is the captain of the girls’ varsity soccer team. She’s also won other academic awards and volunteers frequently in community organizations.
In order to earn the scholarship, competitors must submit an essay. In her essay, Fries writes, “Like Jordan, I will strive to lead my life with compassion and to selflessly serve others. Ultimately, I hope to utilize my voice and unwavering passion to create lasting change in any community I touch.”
