Franklin High School Senior Megan Hauss won one of five honorable mentions in the Somerset County “Inspirational Women” Youth Essay Contest.
Hauss’ essay was about Girl Scout Leader Keri Gould.
The contest, held in celebration of Women’s History Month, was sponsored by the Somerset County Commission on the Status of Women. “Women have always contributed to our society in critical ways, and we want our young people to see how important it is to recognize and celebrate women’s achievements,” Somerset County Commissioner Sara Sooy, liaison to SCCSW, said in a press release about the contest. “The essay contest encourages students to consider the impact that women outside their immediate families have on our history and society.”
