R eid Shiver, son of Todd and Margaret Shiver, is the 2010 recipient of the $1000 scholarship awarded each year by Knights of Columbus Council 6419 to a Catholic senior graduating from one of the Hot Springs area schools.
Reid is the epitome of those qualities—scholarship, extracurricular involvement, character, and service—that the council values when selecting a scholarship recipient. On July 5 he learned that he had earned the International Baccalaureate diploma, a distinction awarded as a result of his high score on a myriad of subject area tests. He is also among a select few Governor’s Distinguished Scholars.
Reid recently graduated from Hot Springs High School as valedictorian, having amassed a 4.65 GPA and a 1420 SAT score. In addition to scholarship, he was a four-year member of the school’s track team, running with the cross-country team during his freshman and sophomore years. Before entering public school, he was a student at St. John’s School from kindergarten through 8th grade. A member of St. John’s Church, he has completed his 10th year as an altar server.
Reid, along with his older brother Grant, will soon be a student at University of Tulsa where he will pursue a degree in Energy Management. As a result of his International Baccalaureate diploma, the University of Tulsa awarded him 30 credit hours. How nice to have the equivalent of a year’s university credits before he has attended a single class. Council 6419 congratulates Reid and his parents for his impressive achievements.
