He has been very active at Decorah High School and in the Decorah community. He has successfully completed a multitude of college credit and AP courses and was named an AP Scholar with Honors, a National Merit Semifinalist, a Hagan Scholarship finalist, and received the National Recognition Award through the College Board Corporation. He has been involved in the Silver Cord volunteer recognition program, Envirothon, Robotics, Community Club/TAATU, Speech, Music Listening Contest, and National Honor Society.

“I feel very honored to receive this scholarship,” Myers stated. “I’d especially like to thank the Bradish Scholarship Trust for giving me this award. It will be instrumental in allowing me to pursue a brighter future, and it has inspired me to keep trying my hardest in high school, college, and beyond.”
