"When a student like Kezia shines this brightly, it lights the way for every scholar coming up behind her," says Hutchins Academy founder Marie Mott. "She's not just collecting scholarships; she's shattering ceilings and showing our community what's possible when talent meets opportunity. Kezia represents everything we believe in - excellence isn't just an aspiration, it's an everyday practice."
