Some teens in the northern suburb wanted to do more, though, to create lasting change.   A year later, they’re seeing that change in action as a group of recent graduates of Westerville City Schools helped raise enough money to award three $1,500 scholarships to high school students of color within the district.  It’s called the “One Westerville Scholarship.” “The scholarship idea, for me, provides longevity,” said Ameena Freeman, a 19-year-old who graduated from Westerville North High School in 2020 and helped lead the effort.
