Ryan Murphy, a junior at Worcester Preparatory School, has been selected as a 2015 Carson Scholar. The Carson Scholars program was created by Dr. and Mrs. Benjamin Carson to reward gifted students who excel in the academics and community service. An awards banquet will be held in Baltimore on April 19 to honor recipients. Upon hearing about his award, Murphy said, “I am truly honored to be the first Worcester Prep student to receive the Carson Fund Scholarship. I admire Dr. Ben Carson for all of his personal achievements in the medical field and aspire to uphold his high standards in my pursuit to become a pediatric doctor.” Murphy is pictured above with Director of College Counseling and Assistant Headmaster Tony D’Antonio, left, and Headmaster Barry W.
