Five students at Carter High School have received full-ride scholarships to attend Texas Christian University.
The five seniors were awarded the TCU Community Scholarships, each valued at more than $250,000, at a ceremony on Thursday.
Two of the recipients, Nahjae and Tahjae Selby, are twin sisters. The other recipients are Deanna Harper, Rickey Perry and Patricia Smith.
