It’s difficult to balance academics with athletics, but Scroggins makes it look easy as a member of National Honor Society, which requires high grades and several hours of community service.

She also works at McDonald’s. In her limited free time, she enjoys spending time with her loved ones and listening to music.

She has exciting plans for after graduation, and her teachers and loved ones know she will do great work.

“I plan on attending Lewis and Clark Community College and get my associate's,” Scroggins said. “I haven’t decided what to major in yet, but once I do, I plan to transfer it to a university.”

Congratulations to Carmela for this recognition from East Alton-Wood River High School!
