Wendy’s High School Heisman recognizes four Cheatham County students

11/5/2018

0 Comments

There are some students who set the bar. They work harder, show more passion and lead by example — in the classroom, on the field and within the community.

The Wendy’s High School Heisman program recognizes four Cheatham County seniors – Ashley Garrett and Triston Hampton of Sycamore High School, Mallory Anderson of Cheatham County Central High School and Win Seagraves of Harpeth High School – by naming them school winners.

From a total applicant pool of nearly 42,000 high school scholar-athletes graduating with the class of 2019, more than 7,500 were named school winners in Wendy’s annual scholarship program.

The Wendy's High School Heisman was created by Wendy's founder Dave Thomas in 1994.

Since 1994, Wendy’s and the Heisman Trophy Trust have been running the same play to perfection: honoring more than 600,000 of the nation’s most esteemed students who share Wendy's values of giving back to their communities, treating people with respect, continuing education and excelling on the athletic field.
