Coconut Creek Police awarded $2,000 in scholarships to four outstanding high school seniors as part of its Do the Right Thing initiative.

At the May 23 commission meeting, Monarch High School graduate Jessenia Almanzar earned a DTRT scholarship in April for her positive impact on the school.

Almanzar was the Student Government Association president and active in the Coconut Creek Police Explorers program. She plans to enroll in Santa Fe College in Gainesville this fall, according to Scotty Leamon, public safety information officer for the Coconut Police Department.
