Haverhill High School senior Holly McGrath was presented with the Sixth annual Haverhill Education Association scholarship during the union’s annual dinner last night at DiBurro’s.

McGrath, who plans to attend Massachusetts College of Art and Design, was presented with $2,250 from Anthony J. Parolisi, chairman of the Scholarship Committee. McGrath appeared with her parents, Brian and Leslie McGrath.

Scholarship money is raised by teachers during the years, particularly during “Code Blue,” a day where Haverhill teachers wear blue clothing as part of a final push for scholarship contributions.

Members also heard from Massachusetts Teachers Association President Barbara Madeloni.

As with each annual dinner, retirees were honored and 20-year school veterans recognized.
