Jacket Backers Award Scholarships to Deserving Rockwall High School Athletes


The Rockwall High School Jacket Backers Booster Club was formed to work with the Rockwall Community helping provide scholarships for deserving high school athletes.  Community Service, Athletic Accomplishments and Academic Evaluations were some of the criteria factored into who would be the recipient of these awards.
For the 2018-2019 school year; Brette Thornton (Volleyball), Samantha Bean (Basketball/Softball), Alana Wickham (Soccer), Kendall Brown (Water Polo), Janelle Hummingbird (Swimming) and Anna Voth (Swimming) were the Student-Athletes who earned the end of the school year recognition from the Jacket Backers Scholarship Committee.  These kids excelled both in their athletic ability as well as in the classroom.

Rockwall businesses like Credit Union of Texas who is a proud supporter of the Jacket Backers also awarded a scholarship.  Community Engagement Officer, Chris Gaston participated in the annual scholarship night presenting Basketball and Softball player, Samantha Bean with a $1000 scholarship.  Samantha will be playing softball at the University of Alabama Birmingham in the fall.
In addition to scholarships, the Credit Union of Texas located 2914 Ridge Rd in Rockwall, Texas will provide for all Rockwall Students up to $50 in matching deposits with no monthly fee when they sign up for a CUTX Student Checking Account.  CUTX also will match Rockwall’s residents’ deposit of $250 for new accounts.  Visit www.CUTX.org for more details and requirements.

​Student checking comes with everything you’d expect, things like mobile deposit and 24/7 account access.  It also has unexpected perks like cell phone protection, pay for grades rewards and scholarship opportunities.  It’s easy to start banking with CUTX.
