Alleghany High School Students

Hundreds of graduating seniors have been awarded substantial scholarships. The scholarship review committee—comprised of one Alleghany Educational Foundation board member, two Alleghany High School faculty, and two community members—reviews and approves awardees based on merit and need. Each class’s top academic seniors are not only financially honored but are lauded at a dinner and recognition ceremony. Recognition awards and teacher testimonials make this event memorable for students and proud parents alike.

Alleghany Middle School Students

Beginning in 8th grade all students have the opportunity to be assigned a Trojan TRAX mentor. Each student meets with that mentor four times each year and the mentors follow the students through high school graduation.

Mentors meet with students individually to review:

• Personal and academic goals and progress
• Course selection
• Academic performance and behavior
• Participation in extra-curricular activities
• SAT/ACT preparation and registration
• College and scholarship research
• Trojan TRAX Scholarship requirements
• Application completion

Alleghany 5th Grade Students

In an effort to expand the goal of completing post-secondary credentials throughout the school district, students from the high school (High School Heroes) provide college awareness activities in elementary school classrooms. Heroes talk to students about college and careers and work with the students on classroom projects.  Heroes also help 5th grade students develop and present a college and career fair for parents, community members and students in other grades.
