Patty was excited about the event and the young people she observed. “I'm so glad I got to attend the HHS event last evening and present our scholarship! What a fun and inspirational night! As a former HHS graduate it was great to hear about all the other scholarships, many of which were dedicated to former teachers I had when I was in high school at Hopkins. I was treated to a walk down memory lane and I got to see the leaders of tomorrow in all of the recipients.”
