Congratulations to Jenna Gorsuch, who was awarded a $500 Great Start Scholarship from MidAmerica National Bank for the 2022-2023 school year. Jenna is a recent graduate of Cuba Middle-Senior High School, where she was an Illinois State Scholar as well as a member of the National Honor Society and Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. Her school activities included softball, volleyball, yearbook, and student council, as well as class president. Jenna will be attending Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville in the fall to start the combined Baccalaureate in Biology/Doctorate in Dentistry program. After completing her undergraduate studies, she hopes to attend the SIU Dental School and obtain as much knowledge and experience as possible so she can one day have an impact on many of her own patients’ lives.
