The Senior Awards Night was held on May 8, 2019 in the Brush Performing Arts Center. Seniors with a 3.00 cumulative grade point average were invited to attend the program. Presenters came from as far away as Vermont and Maryland to honor seniors with scholarships. The program demonstrated the generosity of the Brush community. For two hours people came to the stage and presented scholarships. The Brush Alumni Association administered twelve scholarships totaling $19,000.

Among this year's highlights was the presentation of the first Ted Bell Mathematics Prize, which was given by Michael Wertheimer (Class of '75) to honor his math teacher.
