This scholarship will go to a senior dance team member at East Gaston High School. Jerrica graduated from East Gaston in 1998 and was a member of the Dance Team at EG. Jerrica's friends and teammates have made a 20 year commitment to continue this scholarship to carry on Jerrica's legacy of what true teamwork is .. love, hard work and supporting each other.
