JUDA — The Class of 1967—We Remember Our 9 Angels Scholarship winners for 2023 are:  Ciarrah Davis, Lillyianna Schmid, and Gracyn Bolton. The Honors Program was held at Juda High School on May 17 when each of the three recipients received a $1,000 award. 

The Nine Angels Scholarship was established in 2010 by the surviving classmates of the nine young ladies, who perished while on their senior class trip. The scholarship is designed to be perpetual and to help assure that the 9 girls are never forgotten.

The girls died when a Douglas DC-8 on a training flight at the New Orleans International Airport crashed into the Hilton Hotel where the girls were staying while on their senior class trip on March 30, 1967.
