Drug-Free All Star Scholarship Recipients

Date:

With the help of community sponsors, The Coalition, Inc. presented scholarships to seven outstanding Angelina County Drug-Free All Stars. The Drug-Free All Stars of Angelina County, funded by a grant from TxDOT, are high school seniors in Angelina County who serve as role models in the community throughout the year. Seven Drug-Free All Stars were honored for their commitment to promoting a drug and alcohol-free lifestyle to their community and their involvement in the program throughout the year. The 2024-2025 Drug-Free All Stars went above and beyond to share a message of prevention, including social media posts, press conferences, videos, school presentations, and more. The Drug-Free All Stars selected to receive a scholarship were Rocio Arredondo, graduate of Central HS; Alexandrea Foy, graduate of Central HS; Emily Ramos, graduate of Central HS; Heyde Serrano, graduate of Lufkin HS; Alexandra Molina, graduate of Huntington HS; Jewelissa Servin, graduate of Diboll HS, and Isis Luna, graduate of Diboll HS. Thank you to the community partners who made these scholarships possible: Abeldt’s Pharmacy; Southside Bank; Southwood Drive Animal Clinic; KSWP/KAVX; Contractor’s Supplies, Inc.; Commercial Bank of Texas; Whataburger/GVCS; Texas Materials Group; VeraBank; Pineywoods OB/GYN; and Morgan Insurance.  We are proud of the accomplishments of the 2024-2025 Drug-Free All Stars and wish them luck in all their future endeavors. 

Since 1988, The Coalition has focused on eliminating the use of harmful substances by affecting public policy, laws, attitudes and behaviors, all in an effort to foster healthy life-long choices for the local community.
