Two District 88 students named as David Koch Board of Education Scholarship recipients

During its May 18 meeting, the District 88 Board of Education named Addison Trail senior Franc De Guzman and Willowbrook senior Joshua Beausoleil as the recipients of the David Koch Board of Education Scholarship for 2015.

Since spring 1984, the David Koch Board of Education Scholarship has been given in honor of former District 88 Superintendent Dr. David Koch.

Scholarship recipients are chosen from the 18 students named as 88’s Best during the school year. The District 88 Board of Education and administration created the 88’s Best award to highlight students’ success. That award recognizes nine Addison Trail and nine Willowbrook students each school year for reaching their personal best in various areas. Students are honored each month during a District 88 Board of Education meeting in the areas of academics, highly improved performance, extracurricular activities, service work and performing arts/electives.
