Wellington brothers Graham and Carter Kassis have both been named Carson Scholars. The Carson Scholars program recognizes students for high academic achievement, humanitarian qualities and community service.
Graham Kassis, a seventh grader at Wellington Landings Middle School, was recently named a 2024 Carson Scholar. Out of thousands of students across the nation, Graham stands out as 1 of 570 recipients of this prestigious award.
His older brother, Carter Kassis, a ninth grader at Wellington High School, was also recently named a 2024 Recognized Carson Scholar. As a past scholarship recipient, Carter is being recognized for his continued academic achievements and community service. The boys’ commitment to excellence and making a positive impact in their community truly sets them apart.
Graham will receive a $1,000 scholarship toward college. Both brothers will be recognized with a medal, a trophy and attend a banquet ceremony with guest speaker James Patterson in West Palm Beach in May.
The brothers are members of Boy Scout Troop 125, where they have learned the importance of community service. They would like to thank their past and current teachers at Wellington High School, Wellington Landings Middle School and Binks Forest Elementary School.
