Jefferson Scholarship Winner: Alexandra Hasse

Every year, the Jefferson PTO selects a graduating senior to receive a $1500 scholarship. We are proud to announce that this year's winner is Alexandra Hasse. 

Alexandra is a Jefferson Alum along with her twin brother. In addition to having an impressive GPA, she volunteers at GRACE, teaches German and works as a FLASH camp counselor during her summers. Alexandra was raised in a single parent family and co-founded the Flying Solo club at Summit High School which is a support group for students with single parents. She'll be attending George Washington University this fall.


We are so grateful for all the fundraising efforts and support of the Jefferson community which makes this scholarship possible.
