Congratulations are in order to the class of 2020 at The SEED School of Maryland! Among our graduating seniors is a phenomenal SEED scholar named Autumn Lewis (SEED MD ’20). Autumn has been selected as a 2020 SEED Foundation Scholarship recipient because of her leadership skills and commitment to academic excellence.
Following in her older brother’s footsteps, Autumn came to SEED as a sixth-grade scholar, looking for a change of environment and a promising opportunity for a bright future. While at SEED, Autumn was a member of the Student Government Association (SGA) and the Glee Club. She also served as a prefect, where she helped younger students transition to a boarding school and master SEED’s rigorous high school curriculum.
“My favorite activity was being a prefect because I had the opportunity to work with SEED middle school students and help them understand what they should expect in college-prep boarding high school: it taught me how to be responsible.”
One of Autumn’s biggest highlights at SEED was learning that she had been named a 2020 SEED Foundation Scholarship recipient. “To hear that I was receiving the 2020 SEED Foundation Scholarship was a special moment because I never thought I’d be awarded something so amazing. I’m extremely thankful for this scholarship and feel blessed to have attended SEED. I was educated by some of the most admirable and impactful staff members ever. I’m going to miss SEED.”
Now a SEED graduate, Autumn is looking forward to starting her journey at Goucher College this fall, where she will major in journalism and minor in theatre arts. “What excites me most about going to college is building new relationships and embarking on new experiences.”
Stay tuned for updates on Autumn’s journey at Goucher College.
