Education Extra
Congratulations to Prince of Peace (POP) Catholic Parish’s Jessica Bradley who won a $40,000 Future Engineer scholarship from Amazon and the chance to intern with the online commerce company after her freshman year of college. The high school senior was one of 100 U.S. students chosen for her academic and civic accomplishments. Since the beginning of her junior year at Hoover High School, she along with a group of high school students have introduced other young women to the field of computer coding by inviting Hoover elementary and middle school girls to “Hoover Girls Code,” a night of computer science which meets every month or so. Her work with Hoover Girls Code was part of the reason she was also named one of the top two youth volunteers in Alabama for 2019 by The Prudential Spirit of Community Award. Jessica is the daughter of Angela and Jimmy Brady and a graduate of Prince of Peace Catholic School. †
