St. John Berchmans alumni, Brenda Rivas, from the class of 2009, has been chosen as this year’s recipient of the Rev. Norman E. Harland, S.J. Scholarship.
This scholarship will cover Brenda’s tuition expenses at Loyola Academy and tuition and expenses at a four year accredited college. Students were nominated by counselors and teachers for this scholarship and Brenda has been chosen because many recognized her positive and committed presence in the school community.
Brenda’s seventh grade Religion teacher, Amanda Sullivan, remembers Brenda as a very enthusiastic and motivated student. While at St. John Berchmans, Brenda received high marks in her classes, was a member of the Student Leadership group and played Varsity Girls Basketball. Brenda was always the first to reach out to students in her class and is highly respected in the SJB community!
