Medina Sunrise Rotary welcomed the 2014 High School Graduating Class recipients of the Mark J. Sutherland Memorial Rotary Scholarships: Rebecca Arnold -- Medina, Sierra Pickett -- Cloverleaf, Rachel Horvath -- Highland, John DiGiacobbe -- Highland, and Jeffrey Rolland -- Highland.

Following an inspirational address by Medina High School Head Football Coach Dan Sutherland, which highlighted his father's legacy of "Excellence, Service and Leadership," Scholarship Chair Dr. David Loeper presented a $1,500 scholarship to each of the college-bound students.

Representatives of the U.S. Military Education and Career Development Center in Medina -- Staff Sergeant Rob Hicks, Sergeant Ed Tyren and Petty Officer Ian Clark -- presented a red rose to each student's mother and a copy of the Medina County Schools ESC Literary Magazine, The INKSPOT. Mrs. Judy Sutherland tearfully congratulated all the scholars and their families, and was herself presented with a red rose by SSG Rob Hicks.

Congrats, Sierra!
