Ruth Dannenberg Scholarship in memory of Norman Koelliker is given to a student planning to attend Kansas State University and major in any field which is related to agriculture. Ruth E. Koelliker Dannenberg was born near Robinson, Kansas, and lived on the family farm with her parents, Charles & Edna Koelliker, and younger brother, Norman. Ruth attended Hiawatha High School and graduated as a class valedictorian in 1927. She treasured her agricultural background and owned several farms in Brown County. In an effort to encourage young graduates of Hiawatha High School to pursue degrees in agricultural-related fields, Ruth directed that a scholarship to Kansas State University be established in memory of her brother, Norman Charles Koelliker, who died in 1935. Ruth passed away on March 17, 1993, and the first scholarship was awarded in May of 1993. This year’s recipient is Joey Meyer.

Ms. Roberta C. Burgert graduated from Hiawatha High School in 1917 and began her life-long career as an educator that very year. Teaching first grade was her favorite. She retired in 1970 and returned to Hiawatha, where she pursued favorite hobbies of painting, playing the saxophone, piano and organ, and growing flowers. Throughout her life, she enjoyed nurturing children's minds and flowers--both very beautiful things. She passed away in 2000. This year’s recipient of the Roberta C. Burgert Scholarships are Logan Huckaby and Carolyn Schuetz.

Melissa “Missy” Dawn Rieger Memorial Scholarship was set up in memory of a young lady whose dream of entering HHS as a freshman was cut short by a devastating bout with bone cancer. Missy lost her battle to bone cancer at the age of fourteen and died on July 4, 1985. She graduated from the eighth grade at Robinson Middle School, was a member of the National Honor Society, played sports, was active in 4-H (where she showed her dogs Max and Andy), and had many friends and family. The scholarship was set up in her name so the youth who knew her and those who didn’t would remember the courage that a young lady named Missy showed through the diagnoses, leg amputation, and rigorous chemotherapy treatment she endured for 17 months. She never lost her sense of humor or her faith in God. Most of all, she never gave up. This year's recipients are Camden Bachman, Grace Morey & Ashton Rockey.
Hiawatha FFA Alumni Scholarship - ADDY KOPP, KAIDEN LEE, JOEY MEYER
Workbased Learning Spotlight: Grace Jones, Dr. Jordan Haedt, DDS
For my health internship, I go to Dr. Jordan Haedt’s dental office every other day. I follow her or one of the hygienists around and watch them interact with patients. This experience has truly taught me what to expect in my future, as Jordan is always real with me and lets me know the positives and negatives of all situations. Her office has shown me what a positive work environment should look like and that communication is key. Jordan took my spark of interest in dental hygiene and turned it into something that I am 100% sure I want to do. This class is one I look forward to because every time I leave I am more excited for my own future in this career.
