The district had two Gold Key award winners, four Silver Key awards and two honorable mentions. Gold Key award winners will compete at the national level for $300,000 in scholarship awards. All participants attended an awards ceremony January 28 at Marywood University. To read more on Pleasant Valley visit the district’s Facebook page.
