Honoring their Legacy!
It is sad to see our senior class go every year, but we couldn't be more proud of them as they start their adult lives, which is why we honor them every year at our annual award banquets and set them up financially for their future endeavors through our founder's Mrs. Adams scholarship for alumni named the Sparkle K.

Adams, generously takes a group of council members almost every year to many locations, including the nation's capital, Washington, D.C., to attend the National League of Cities Congressional Convention.
