Emilee Daves Memorial Art Scholarship

The Class of 1977 Scholarship committee created this $1,000 scholarship to help a deserving San Benito High School art student pursue their dream in art studies in memory and honor of Emilee.

In 2021, Miss Emilee Daves lost her life through a tragic, senseless act of violence. Emilee was a beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, and friend. She was a senior in high school, with dreams of furthering her education and studying art. She loved and enjoyed drawing and the beauty of art. Emilee's grandparents, Steve Kittrell and Carolyn DeVincenzi Kittrell, are Hollister High School Class of 1977 graduates.
