The "Heart of a Dragon" Scholarship is awarded each spring to at least one senior in the Television Production Workshop (TPW) class. The award was created in memory of LOHS/TPW graduate Ted Swietlik (Class of 2014).  Ted definitely had the Heart of a Dragon, and each year the Swietlik family honors a current student(s) who demonstrates the same characteristics with a $500 scholarship.
