Ten seniors will be receiving a $10,000 award for college tuition along with new laptop computers to assist in their studies. They are shown along with Dayle Cook, senior guidance counselor, and Jim Davidson, VHS principal, who assisted in the application and review process. Front row from left are Baylee Hadaway, Jasmine Jones, Jaci Butts, Shakera Stiggers, Brandi McGlon and Jamattia Jackson. Back row from left are Cook, Paul Simon, Kaelin Crim, Brooke Walls, Hannah Crosson and Davidson. The majority of these students will be attending Southern Union Community College’s Valley and Opelika campuses. “This scholarship initiative was inspired by the VHS Class of ’61 whose members have been annually donating $20 each in order to assist VHS graduates attending college,” Secretary and Executive Director Deanna Newton said. The NaphCare Charitable Foundation, Inc. of Birmingham was established in the fall of 2011 as a legal entity organized for charitable, benevolent, education and philanthropic purposes, and will be awarding an annual amount of $100,000 to Valley High School graduates for the next five years.
