Congratulations to Charlotte Johnson of Hillsboro High School who was named the first recipient of the John C. Pederson Arts Scholarship this morning! This will be a continuing H509 / Dollars for Scholars scholarship thanks to the generous donation of artwork by John’s family and the work of TCAC, who have put on three exhibitions/ silent auctions of John’s work.

We wish Charlotte continued success!! Congratulations!!
