For the fifteenth-straight year in a row, Cypress Bank has presented a high-end laptop for the use of Northeast Texas Community College honors students. This year’s Cypress Bank Scholar is the 2022 Hughes Springs Salutatorian, Sydney Annelle Carey. She is the daughter of Danny and Trisha Carey of Hughes Springs. Sydney was a member of the business association, DECA and competed at the state level three times. In April of 2022, the Honors Committee at NTCC voted to offer her a Presidential Scholarship, an upper-tier honors award bestowed to ten students at the college each academic year.
Cypress Bank Vice President, Josh Cato, presented Carey with this gift (above). CypressBank has five locations: two are in Mount Pleasant with the main bank in Pittsburg. The two other branches are in Lone Star, and Commerce.
