Evan McHenry

Brian Kuehl, Melissa Wick's husband, announced that he will fund a $1,000 scholarship in memory and honor of Melissa until 2027. We thank Brian for his generosity and know that Melissa would be so pleased to know that donations to this fund will be used as scholarships for local students.

We are pleased to share that Evan McHenry will be the first recipient of the Melissa Wick Memorial Scholarship. Evan McHenry graduated from Bishop Seabury Academy in May and plans to study English at Brown University in the fall.

His writing has appeared in Lawrence Magazine and the Seabury Chronicle, and his photography has been featured in KANSAS! Magazine and Inscape Magazine. At Seabury, Evan was a prefect, the director of the Writing Center, and the founding editor of Seabury's first-ever literary magazine, Frontage Road. He was a member of the school's four-person Academic WorldQuest team, which won regionals back to back in 2020 and 2021 and placed 11th at nationals this year. He also played varsity soccer for four years.
This past year, Evan was selected as a member of the Gannett Kansas 2021 All-State Academic Team, was one of only 4,500 seniors nationwide to be named a Presidential Scholar Candidate, earned the Seal of Biliteracy in Latin, and won the English Department Award at his school.

Evan has interests in English, environmental studies, classics, architecture, and many other subjects, and he hopes to explore them further next year at Brown.
