We had another great group of Dallastown Area High School (DAHS) students that applied for the 2022 Daren M. Hidalgo Scholarship. The memorial scholarship award committee decided to provide a scholarship to both Michaela Long and Kaden Kashner. Michaela was a student council representative all four years at Dallastown Area High School and elected Class President during her senior year. She participated in numerous school activities supporting the community to include the Mini-Thon which assists families with pediatric cancer. She was also active with the school Interact Club and the Health STAT Club. Michaela was a teacher at B*Dazzled Dance Studios and a youth coach of the On-Core Competition Dance Team This fall she will be pursuing a Psychology degree at Virginia Tech. Kaden Kashner played varsity soccer and coached a girls U12 soccer team. He has written hundreds of letters to servicemembers overseas as part of Operation Gratitude. Kaden will be pursuing a degree in Business Management at the University of Pittsburgh. Kaden and Michaela are the thirteenth and fourteenth recipients of the $5,000 Daren M. Hidalgo Scholarship. We wish Kaden and Michaela much success as they embark on their college journey.
