At this year's IHA Spring Arts Festival, Megan McCarthy '25 was awarded the Mary Ellen "Molly" Offer '06 Memorial Scholarship Award. This award is presented in memory of Mary Ellen (Molly) Offer, a graduate of IHA's Class of 2006 and the youngest of five sisters who are all IHA graduates. This memorial scholarship was established by her parents and sisters. It is the intention of the family that this award be presented to a student who typifies the qualities so loved in Molly: A student who loves art, theater and design, has a deep love for family, and is willing to share compassion, spiritual values, and love of life with everyone she meets. Congratulations to Megan on receiving this special scholarship!
