Senior Spotlight🎓 — This morning, the School Superintendents of Alabama (SSA) and Curriculum Associates presented Clay-Chalkville High School senior Makyiah Kelley with a $1,000 scholarship to assist her in pursuing a college degree in one of the most admirable and impactful professions—teaching.
Makyiah was chosen by Dr. Gonsoulin and Dr. Dallas for demonstrating academic excellence and a deep passion for shaping the future through education. Even more inspiring is her commitment to stay right here in Alabama to make a difference in the lives of local students.
Makyiah will begin this journey at Jacksonville State University. We can't wait to see her pour into the next generation of learners! 🎉Congratulations, Makyiah!
