Two Students Receive Prudential Awards
Two CCS students have been named North Carolina’s top youth volunteers
in the national Prudential Spirit of Community Awards.
Davis Dawson, an 11th grader at Jay M. Robinson
High School, and Samuel Park, a 7th grader at Harris
Road Middle School, will each receive $1,000, an
engraved silver medallion, and an all-expense-paid
trip to Washington, D.C., in early May. There, they will
join the top two honorees from each state and the
District of Columbia for four days of national recognition
events. During those events, 10 students will be named America’s top youth
volunteers for 2015.
Davis raised more than $35,000 and led the efforts of more than 200
volunteers to build a new house for a single mother and her four children
through Habitat for Humanity. Samuel operates a video transfer service to
raise funds for orphans in Kenya and Uganda and delivers e-book ‘libraries’ to
orphanages, schools and youth centers in those countries.
“We are extremely proud of Davis and Samuel and congratulate them on
receiving this great honor,” said Barry Shepherd, superintendent of Cabarrus
County Schools. “We know they will represent Cabarrus County School and
North Carolina well.”
The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards is conducted by Prudential
Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School
Principals. This is the program’s 20th anniversary. This program represents
the United States’ largest youth recognition program based solely on
volunteer service.
