🏆 Butch Henry Award — Connally High School 🏆
Congratulations to Daniel Hancock and Tylar Thomas, this year’s recipients of the Butch Henry Award and scholarships from the Northwest Optimist Club!
This is what our club is all about: investing in the kids of McLennan County and standing behind the next generation of leaders coming out of our community.
We give this scholarship in honor of Butch Henry, a great man whose heart for young people and unwavering belief in their potential left a mark on everyone who knew him. Daniel and Tylar, you carry that legacy forward. We’re proud of you and can’t wait to see what you do next.
Go Cadets! 💙
