Central Catholic in Voice of Democracy

Submitted Photos
The Voice of Democracy Scholarship Competition is especially designed for high school students from grades nine through 12. The program dates back to 1946 and continues to be one of the VFW’s most exciting programs. The VFW annually commits $3 million in scholarships and incentives at the post, district, state and national levels. Participants write and then record a three- to five-minute essay on a patriotic theme selected annually. The VFW school winners for Central Catholic High School were Mary Frances Cali, Rylie Theriot and Ross Thomas. Mary Frances Cali was the second-place district winner for the “American History, Our Hope for the Future” essay and tape contest sponsored by the VFW.
