Caleb Heath, 18, has been named recipient of the Salisbury Historical Society’s 2020 Scholarship.

Heath, a senior at Merrimack Valley High School, plans to study business at St. Anselm College in the fall. He is the son of Wendy and Joseph (Sonny) Heath of 521 Old Turnpike Road.

Heath has excelled academically and athletically, playing varsity basketball and making All-State in baseball last spring. He was also a member of the MVHS Ethics Team.  Congratulations Caleb!

Several factors go into the selection of the scholarship winner, including grade point average, SAT scores, and other information from MVHS. Applicants are asked to write an essay on an historical figure they admire. Heath’s essay was on Nelson Mandela.

The Salisbury Historical Society awards one of the largest scholarships of the year at MVHS to a Salisbury resident. Tax-deductible contributions to this fund may be sent to the Society at PO Box 263, Salisbury, NH 03268, with “Scholarship” in the memo line.
