Today's Spotlight

"HADSC Scholarship Spotlight: Mariah Farah My name is Mariah Farah, and I am a graduate of W.C. Kennedy Collegiate High School in the Greater Essex County District School Board. I am attending St. Clair College's Social Work program with the goal of building a career where I can support and advocate for others. I have always been passionate about helping people and creating a safe space where individuals feel heard, understood, and supported. My future career aspirations include working with individuals and families as a social worker where I can make a positive impact in my community. Throughout high school, I have been involved in community service, including volunteering at my church’s summer camp. These experiences have strengthened my passion for serving others and giving back to my community. I completed my community hours at the Encounter church in Amherstburg, doing the summer camp for the younger kids. That experience helped me develop leadership and communication skills and showed me how important it is to support and encourage others. Mariah Farah received the 2026 Hilda Watkins GECDSB ETFO Scholarship of $2000. Congratulations, Mariah Farah! #HADSCScholarship #HADSC #UGRR #BlackHistory365 #GECDSB #BlackExcellence #BlackSocialWorker"
