Addison Baker 
Kamilah Smith
East Sacramento Preservation is excited to announce the winners of our 2021 scholarships. Our neighborhood group supports East Sacramento’s Kit Carson International Baccalaureate High School (KCIB) with a yearly award based on service to the community. The IB program challenges students to excel in their studies, and encourages both personal and academic achievement. This is the sixth year of ESP’s scholarship.
COVID-19 was difficult for all the students, and we were proud to continue our support. ESP stepped in to tutor the student applicants and guide them with their applications. After a year of Zoom and distance learning, May 2021 gave us the opportunity to meet face to face with the applicants to help them polish their writing. And it paid off.
Kamilah Smith detailed her year with no in-person classes and how it helped her get to know her neighbors better. She bonded with seniors and learned the power of sharing. She is pursuing a nursing career.
Addison Baker gained experience and achieved many goals by becoming an Eagle Scout. He will study this fall on the Monterey Peninsula.
Kit Carson High School is proving to be a huge success. This year 90 students will enter the freshman class. Caleb Greenwood, in River Park, prepares primary students for the academic challenges of the high school IB program. Both Caleb and KCIB school staff receive specialized training to address the rigors of an IB education.
To become involved with East Sacramento Preservation’s scholarship program please call 916-457-2725.
