Sheriff's Scholarship Awards HAMMOND, LA - Sheriff Daniel Edwards of the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office announces that Ms. Brittany Green from Hammond High School and Mr. Jason Bel from Amite High School have been named the recipients of an academic scholarship from the Louisiana Sheriff’s Scholarship Program for the 2008-2009 school year. Both recipients reside in Tangipahoa Parish and plan to attend a Louisiana State College. The Sheriff’s Scholarship is made possible by the Louisiana Sheriff’s Honorary Membership Program (LSHMP). Louisiana Sheriff’s provide scholarships to graduating high school students from each parish where the Sheriff is an affiliate of the Program. Qualities such as academic achievement, leadership and character are considered in making selections of Sheriff’s scholarship recipients. The only limitations are that applicants be permanent residents of Louisiana; scholarships be utilized in higher education within the State; and students be enrolled as full-time, undergraduate students. Scholarships will be awarded in sixty-three parishes throughout the state. “Academic awards by the Louisiana Sheriff’s Scholarship Program to Louisiana students demonstrate what the LSHMP is all about. This is one of our finest accomplishments. It invests in Louisiana’s future and gives something back to our community. This would not be possible without the kind and generous support of Tangipahoa Parish’s Honorary Members.” Sheriff Edwards states. D.A.R.E. Scholarship Recipients HAMMOND, LA – Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff Daniel Edwards recently honored two local seniors with scholarship awards that are made possible through the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office DARE Program. Edwards said the annual Drug Awareness Resistance Education Scholarship Award is intended to recognize outstanding past DARE graduates who make positive contributions to others and our community. “By reaching out and supporting students through this scholarship, the D.A.R.E. Program is able to continue to make a lasting impact on our students and our community. “We couldn’t be more proud or pleased with this year’s deserving recipients.” Edwards states. While the DARE scholarship typically recognizes only one high school senior each year, Edwards said this year's scholarship is being awarded to two students. Each student will receive $2,500.00 toward the college program of his choice. On June 3, 2009, Edwards and the DARE Program Deputy Bud Cason presented both Tevin Goggins of Kentwood High and Patrick Ryan Gambel of St. Thomas Aquinas High School with $2,500.00 in Scholarship Funds. Goggins, son of Ted and Yolanda Goggins, is the Valedictorian of the 2009 Kentwood High’s graduating class, an All-State Football player and athlete and has been the recipient of the McDonald’s A+ Athlete Award. Goggins stated that the DARE Program taught him valuable skills and made a positive impact of his decision–making skills. Goggins plans to attend the University of Louisiana in Lafayette in the fall. He intends to earn a degree in Business Administration. Gamble of St. Thomas Aquinas High School is the son of Pat and Grace Gamble. Gamble is a past recipient of the Brotherhood–Sisterhood Award, All State District Awards for football, baseball and basketball. He was the Chamber of Commerce’s Student of the Month and a three time recipient of the Key to the City of Hammond. Gamble plans to attend Stephen F. Austin University in Texas where he will earn his degree in Business Marketing. Gamble stated that when he learned that he was a recipient of this award, he felt a sense of hope in his heart and it reassured him that there is much brightness in the future. “In Tangipahoa Parish, the DARE Program is the common thread that connects many of our youth. This thread has provided them with the tools needed to become great thinkers and decision makers.” says Edwards. “I am extremely proud of what these two students have accomplished and for the many successes of all of our graduates.” NEWS & PRESS RELEASEJun 1, 2009 - Jun 30, 2009- Shots Fired at Carpenter\'s Landing - TPSO INVESTIGATES SHOOTING IN PONCHATOULA - CRIME STOPPERS REWARD - TPSO Make Arrest In Burglary Case - CHABAUD, Sentenced - Sheriff Daniel Edwards reports: - TPSO DEPUTIES ARREST INTRUDER - UPDATE: Drowning Victim - LOST Horse - Two Arrested in Kiwanis Park - Deputies Find Unknown Female Sleeping Inside of a Ponchatoula Residence - TPSO AGENTS SHUT DOWN MET LAB IN ROBERT, LA - TPSO K9's - Two Suspects Wanted For Drive-By Shooting - Sex Offender Round-up - Jury Duty Scam - Rescue - ARREST - EIGHT ARRESTED FOR RIOTING and one WANTED - Murder Suspect Wanted - TWO ARRESTED FOR CRIME SPREE IN HAMMOND, LA - Independence Man Arrested on Multiple Counts of Battery - SUPPORTING THE LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY - TWO SUSPECTS CAUGHT IN THE ACT - TEENS Arrested - Burglary Suspect Arrested - Human Remains Found - Three Arrested In Hammond EVENTS |
