Dallas Family Dentist Awards College Scholarship to Highland Park High School Student

The “Future Healthcare Professional Scholarship” awarded by Dr. Sarah Tevis Poteet, a Dallas family dentist, was developed to help Highland Park senior students interested in pursuing an education and career in healthcare.  Dr. Poteet’s passion for dentistry and helping others stems from her own personal dental experiences, and she desires to encourage students to also make a difference in people’s lives. 

Ms. Virginia Smith, a recent graduate of Highland Park High School, was awarded the “Future Healthcare Professional Scholarship” for 2014.  She will be attending Texas A&M University in the fall and majoring in pre-medicine.  Ms. Smith was selected due to her academic excellence, extracurricular activities, and dedication to helping others through healthcare and medicine. 

“We are proud to award the college scholarship to Virginia Smith .  We know that she will go on to make a difference in the world.  We plan to continue this scholarship program yearly for Highland Park seniors planning on pursuing a degree in healthcare.  This is our way of giving back to the youth in our community.”  Dr. Sarah Poteet
