August 18, 2020 – Derry, NH: The DMC Charitable Foundation recently awarded 15 separate $1,000 awards to local high school seniors who rank in the top 25% of their class and are pursuing careers in a medically-related profession. The area high schools this year were Pinkerton Academy in Derry, Londonderry High School, Windham High School, Salem High School and Bedford High School.
