The Apprentice School Foundation awarded its 12th 2022 Danny Brookman Scholarship to Rhys Carlson. He is from Arlington, Virginia, and started his apprenticeship last November as a welder. Carlson is a graduate of Wakefield High School with a 3.4 GPA.

In high school, Carlson wrestled and played football and lacrosse. He also volunteered at the community food bank. His parents instilled in him a strong work ethic as he spent his summers working for a moving company. Rhys hopes that The Apprentice School will continue with what enamored him so much as a younger boy by working with his hands, learning a craft and eventually attaining his goal of becoming an engineer.

The Apprentice School Foundation provides a tax-deductible opportunity for alumni, friends and community partners of The Apprentice School to help fund scholarships, historic preservation and community service projects that carry on the school’s legacy.
