Manoogian School Students Look to the Future

SOUTHFIELD, MICH. – This year’s Manoogian School seniors are headed toward a bright future after graduation.

Members of this year’s senior class have been accepted at a number of schools, including University of Michigan – Ann Arbor, University of Michigan – Dearborn, Boston University, Wayne State University, University of Detroit – Mercy, Hillsdale, Wheaton, Cal State, Oakland University, Central Michigan University, and Baker College.

Several students received impressive scholarships. Reyna Harabedian was awarded a full four-year scholarship to the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor. Naro Babaian received a full four-year scholarship to the University of Michigan – Dearborn. Melene Hajakian received a $10,000 annual scholarship to Illinois Institute of Technology. Albert Antonyan received a $16,000 annual scholarship to University of Detroit – Mercy. As summer nears and more financial aid awards are announced, the school expects even more good news.

The school’s administration, faculty, and staff are extremely proud of Manoogian’s seniors as they make plans to continue their educations. Dr. Hosep Torossian, principal of the high school, says, “This is the largest class ever to graduate from our school. Trying to keep 30 students on track to graduation has been a challenge, but this class has not only made it worth the effort, but they’ve also made it fun.”
