David T. Horn, Jr. Scholarship
The David T. Horn, Jr. Scholarship was founded by Mr. Horn’s former students. Over
five decades Mr. Horn has touched the lives of Bishop McDevitt students, teaching
English, History and Humanities; and coaching in his Churchillian Forensics Society and
World Affairs Club. The Scholarship is designed to show appreciation for Mr. Horn’s
unparalleled dedication, inspiration, and tutelage, and inspire students to continue the
legacy of success he has created while at Bishop McDevitt. Our mission is to provide a
partial tuition scholarship of $5,000 to be used over a four year course. This will be
awarded to an incoming freshman who best exemplifies those qualities of scholarship,
leadership, character, and proficiency in public speaking that Mr. Horn has valued and
nurtured in us.
