“Eric is a hardworking student both inside and outside the classroom. He has consistently challenged himself academically at Somerville High by taking honors-level courses and actively engaging himself in classes. Outside of school, Eric has been a leader. He has maintained a part-time job working and helping with family responsibilities while attending school. Eric is confident about his desire to pursue higher education and become a college graduate. He is a first-generation student with an immense passion for success. Eric has a great attitude and a sense of maturity. He is driven by his goals to do well for himself and his family. Eric is very proud of his achievements and the adversity that he has overcome in his life. It is with great pleasure that I recommend Eric Lemus for this scholarship.”

“We will continue your good deeds for others in your name,” said SHA Chair Ronald Bonney (brother of Brandy Bonney). This scholarship is awarded to a SHA Tennant annually.

The annual Bonney Family Scholarship was established in memory of Brandy Rae Bonney, and is awarded to an honors graduate of Somerville High School who was an active member of the high school community.

Lemus will join the 2020 fall semester at Bunker Hill Community College as the Brandy Bonney Scholar with all tuition and fees paid. He can renew the scholarship for an additional year to graduate in 2022.
