ADM Scholarship Foundation announces October Students of the Month

Adel DeSoto Minburn High School.

The 2022-2023 school year has begun. Along with all the academic studying, the students have celebrated homecoming with a football win against Winterset, the junior girls beat the senior girls in the annual powderpuff game, the formal dance was a hit and Sam Holloway and Geneva Timmerman were crowned the 2022 King and Queen. The ADM Marching Band received top awards at the 2022 band competition held at Valley High School in West Des Moines. Now it is time to honor the Students of the Month for October 2022.

The ADM Scholarship Foundation was founded in 1985 with the goal that every graduating senior of the ADM High School going on to post-secondary education would receive a scholarship after submitting an application. As of today, over 850 students have received scholarships totaling $833,500.

Along with giving out scholarships, the ADM Foundation each month announces the students who have excelled academically and athletically in a specific area. The Adel DeSoto Minburn Scholarship Foundation along with local businesses are proud to announce the following students who have received this recognition in the month of October 2022.
