Sylacauga City Schools is noted for its long history of dedicated teachers who not only taught, but also inspired their students to achieve great things. To continue this legacy of teaching and learning, a group of retired teachers, support staff, and administrators came together to endow a college scholarship through the Sylacauga City Schools Foundation for a future teacher.

​

The 2024 recipient is Miss Lillian D. Carter, the daughter of Rene and Jamie Carter. Lillian is a passionate learner and always demonstrates a level of academic excellence that serves as an example for others. In addition to her academic pursuits, Lillian is an active participant in both the show choir and color guard at SHS. She is engaged in the classroom and demonstrates a zeal for learning worthy of emulation by others. As Lillian pursues her education beyond the walls of SHS, she will confidently demonstrate the same levels of academic and social excellence that have characterized her senior year. 

​

The teaching profession is a very rewarding one met with challenges, opportunities, and successes; and this future teacher will embrace it all with inspiration and a deep understanding of the impact teachers make in shaping the lives of their students.

 

Congratulations to Lillian D. Carter!
