American Heritage Scholarship This countywide effort to promote a greater understanding of our American heritage provides an opportunity for students to compete for $10,000 in academic scholarships (based on available funding)! Over the course of the last 17 years, this program has distributed more than $220,000 in scholarships.

Students interested in participating are asked to attend the following presentation:

Speaker:  1. David Froba (retired attorney) & Sharon Froba (retired Modesto High teacher); 2. Garth Stapley, Opinions Editor of The Modesto Bee; 3. William Broderick-Villa, Attorney-at-law of Broderick Legal Group

Date/Time: September 11, 2019 at 7:00 PM
Location: Beyer High School, Little Theater

2019 Essay Prompt: Recently uncovered documents revealing government-sponsored discrimination from the past have created inequalities still evident in our community today. Locally, racially restrictive real estate covenants (referred to as CC&Rs) have resulted in neighborhoods with marked disparities in access to resources, amenities, and basic necessities. Because owning a home is the primary mechanism for accumulating wealth, these restrictive covenants have had a negative, generational impact on families of color. 

Does our community have an obligation to respond? What response, if any, would be appropriate and Constitutional?

The presentation will be live-streamed and archived for viewing later, in order to accommodate students who are unable to attend via SCOE’s website. We STRONGLY urge students not to depend on the online video, but to attend the lecture on September 11th.
