It’s not every day an NFL star visits CommArts, but on Thursday, May 7, we received a visit from Priest Holmes when he came to award Senior Amanda Espinoza a scholarship for $1,000. She will be attending Texas A&M University this fall, joining her brother Albert Espinoza, who also attended CAHS (Class of 2007). Amanda won this scholarship by maintaining a rigorous routine throughout high school: swimming practice each morning, then a full day of academics at Communications Arts, followed by more pool time in the evening, not to mention Amanda’s nightly dedication to her homework– which has earned her a slot in the “Top Ten” of her graduating class.
The Priest Holmes Foundation is an organization committed to encouraging education and enhancing the lives of children in his community.
