to be successful beyond high school. The dealership has partnered with the school
to provide one new Fiesta to a senior graduating student
who best exemplifies these twelve traits as measured by the following four pillars:
Leadership, Academics, Mentoring, and Community Involvement. We are pleased to be
involved in this ground breaking initiative of local businesses working together with
public education.
