RHS FOUNDATION NAMES 2026 FUTURE FIRST CITIZEN FINALISTS

The FCC award recognizes five top RHS seniors as future leaders, volunteers, supporters, and role models who will make a difference in their community.

Juniper Crocker, Elizabeth Kwok, Emma Rethwill, Taylor Sands, and Ryne Wilson have been named as the Future First Citizen finalists for 2026. These outstanding students will share $26,000 in scholarship money, with the winner earning $10,000 toward tuition at the college of their choice. The remaining four finalists will each receive $4,000 scholarships. 

The students will be interviewed by a panel that includes sponsors, representatives of the Roseburg High School Foundation, and local business leaders. The winner will be announced at the Annual Roseburg High School Foundation Scholarship Night set for 5:30 PM, Thursday, March 12th, at the Rose Theater at RHS. Admission is free.

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN MAKE A CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION FROM YOUR IRA?

A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is an IRA withdrawal, made by an individual age 73 or older, that is transferred directly to a qualified charity. A QCD allows the distribution to be excluded from the donor's gross income, effectively lowering their taxable income and usually satisfying their required minimum distribution (RMD). The 2025 annual maximum for a QCD is $108,000 per person and is indexed for inflation each year.  ~Mike Watters, CPA, RHS Foundation Board Member
