High School

As Democrats we value education and the preparation it provides to enable the next generation to become global citizens and community leaders.

Because of our commitment to an educated society, the Central Committee of the Greene County Democratic Party has established the Democracy Scholarship for a graduating high school senior. I have enclosed an application for the scholarship that explains the requirements.
