The Seminole Coconut Creek Education Foundation awarded $64,000 in scholarships to 80 Coconut Creek High School seniors during the Class of 2026 awards ceremony, in recognition of academic excellence and community service.
Held on May 13 inside the Coconut Creek High School auditorium, the event honored the hard work, academic excellence, and community involvement of the graduating Class of 2026.
In total, 80 students were recognized for achieving among the school’s highest weighted grade point averages and for their community service.
Leading the way in community service was Negeberth Pierre, who completed an impressive 2,232 service hours. Enrique McKyle Muschett and Abianeta Louis also surpassed the 2,000-hour milestone to finish among the top service leaders in the graduating class.
On the academic side, Christaly Jean Baptiste, Daniel Therne, and Layla Wilcox earned recognition for posting the highest weighted grade point averages among the senior class.
The top-ranked students in each category received $2,500 scholarships, while second-place recipients earned $1,500. Students finishing between third and twentieth place received $1,000 awards, and those ranking from 21st through 40th earned $500 scholarships.
The Seminole Coconut Creek Education Foundation is a partnership between the Seminole Tribe of Florida and the City of Coconut Creek. The nonprofit organization supports educational opportunities for Coconut Creek students, local public schools, and children of city employees.
Foundation officials said scholarship presentations will also take place later this month at Atlantic Technical High School and Dave Thomas Education Center.
