Anthony Fabrizio received the Black & Gold Communications Scholarship presented by the McAlester News-Capital during the McAlester High School’s senior assembly Monday at S. Arch Auditorium — where MHS seniors were awarded about $2.6 million in scholarships.

The McAlester High School senior was a member of McAlester’s student publication, which is produced by high school students and sponsored by the News-Capital. He plans to pursue a degree in film and said “It’s definitely going to help go toward paying for that,” Fabrizio said. He added that he hopes to pursue a degree locally before pursuing a career in film.
