Member of the Shepherd of the Hills (SOTH) scholarship committee, John Bjornholt, presented Erin Schumacher with a $2,000 scholarship that she plans to use to attend Belmont University School of Music in Nashville, Tenn. She was also presented with a gift from the SOTH quilters who provide every high school graduate from SOTH with a quilt.

Schumacher is a 2023 graduate of Desert Mountain High School in Scottsdale and a member of SOTH. She is planning to study commercial music (contemporary styles) with voice as the primary instrument. Schumacher has participated in the SOTH annual talent shows in the past.

“Congratulations to her and good luck in her academic pursuits," Bjornholt said.
