Tyler ISD proudly announces the first recipients of the National Technical Honor Society (NTHS) Chapter 3893 Scholarship for the 2024–2025 school year: Stephanie Esparza of Tyler High and Alaia Privett of Legacy High School. Each student will receive a $500 scholarship in recognition of their excellence in academics, leadership, and dedication to their Career & Technical Education (CTE) pathways.
“We wanted to recognize our top-notch students and support their future education,” said NTHS Sponsor Ana Vazquez. “They give us their best, and we want to give back.”
Stephanie plans to attend the University of Texas at Tyler to study nursing, with a goal of working in neonatal or pediatric care. “The scholarship means a lot to me because I can stay at home and study and still watch my brothers grow up while also receiving a good education at a university here in Tyler,” she said.
Her teacher, Jason Newport, shared, “She’s a respectful student and a role model in class.”
Alaia will attend East Texas Baptist University, where she will play soccer and pursue a doctorate in physical therapy. “Helping people return to what they love doing would be really special,” she said.
Health Science teacher Shannon Miller praised her as a hard-working and dedicated student.
