A senior at Lake Michigan Catholic has been awarded a $2,000 scholarship by First Tee of Benton Harbor. Connor Shooks was also selected from a pool of national candidates to attend the First Tee Innovators Forum, held October 8 through October 11 in San Jose, California. The forum is designed to empower First Tee teens to develop a meaningful service project in their communities focused on raising awareness on issues surrounding education, health, and sustainability. In addition to being a Lake Michigan Catholic varsity golfer, Shooks is on the varsity soccer team. A representative from First Tee says Connor was selected for the scholarship opportunity due to the great ambition, creativity, and passion he presented during the Innovator’s Forum. First Tee is an organization that helps young people build strength of character through golf.
