CCSD Class of 2025 Graduate Wins $5,000 Local Scholarship

A Cherokee County School District Class of 2025 graduate has earned a $5,000 scholarship from a school district partner!

River Ridge High School Class of 2025 graduate Chaselynn Higgins has earned this year’s Waste Management/Pine Bluff Landfill Scholarship. 

The scholarship is presented to a graduating senior each year as part of the company’s partnership with CCSD.  The designated school rotates annually, with River Ridge HS selected for the Class of 2025, and all graduating seniors from the designated school may apply.  Congratulations to Chaselynn, thank you to Waste Management and Pine Bluff, and thank you to our School Board for its longtime support of community partnerships!

Chaselynn, who will study environmental science at Chattahoochee Technical College in the fall, plans to pursue a career in the field.  While at River Ridge HS, she served the community through Beta Club and was very involved in the school’s fine arts program. 

This is the 18th anniversary of the scholarship.  A committee of community, Waste Management and CCSD representatives reviews and scores applications to select a winner who has excelled in academic, extra-curricular activities and community service.
