    SALUTE TO SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS ALANA DURAN, EAST

    Alana received a Wake Forest University attendance scholarship, valued at $67,250 per year, and a Wakeware technology grant. “The teachers that made the biggest impact in my life are Mrs. Maes and Ms. Goehringer,” Alana said. “Mrs. Maes has always encouraged us to learn more and to ask questions. She would make our four-person class fun and welcoming, and I loved to talk with her. "In middle school, Ms. Goehringer taught me to dream big and was a large influence in my perseverance, commitment, growth, and large goals. She motivated me to push myself and try new things, which became a huge piece of my personality.”
