Besides being an outstanding student, Miss Milford participated in a wide variety of activities in her high school career, including Orchestra, Air Force Junior ROTC and Forensics. As a community volunteer, she participated in the March of Dimes Walk America and volunteered for Working Families Win, a nonpartisan advocacy group for middle class families.

The McCandless Democratic Committee awards a $500 scholarship each year to a North Allegheny senior who exemplifies the values of hard work and civic duty. Applicants are judged on their grades and test scores, and an essay on one issue from the platform of the Democratic Party. The Committee emphasizes the students’ commitment to and participation in service and civic life.
