East Cobb PTA Scholarship Winners Named

Many thanks to Irene Barton of the East Cobb County Council of PTAs for letting us know about the high school seniors recently named Margie Hatfield Scholarship recipients. They are:

• Anna Fenstermaker, Kell High School
• Caroline Hutcherson, Lassiter High School
• Krystal Lo, Pope High School
• Beth Hannawalt, Sprayberry High School
• Elizabeth Park, Walton High School
• Sara Dada, Wheeler High School

On April 18, six local high school seniors were named Margie Hatfield Scholarship recipients by the East Cobb County Council of PTAs. The awardswere presented to the recipients at the ECCC PTA’s general membership meeting. The scholarship was established in 1989 to honor the dedication and years of service by Mrs. Hatfield to ECCC PTA. 

The scholarship recognizes and awards an outstanding senior from each of six high schools who has demonstrated a commitment to service and citizenship in the most genuine spirit of PTA. The winners, each of whom receive a $1,000 cash award to be used to further their education, were selected on the basis of their applications which included a personal essay and recommendations from school and community.

Funded by the 35 local units of ECCC PTA and donations from community members, the scholarship program has awarded over $100,000 to students over the years.

Mrs. Hatfield was on hand for the presentations, held at Sprayberry High School. All of the winners have GPAs of over 4.0 and participate in a variety of school and community activities. Congratulations to these outstanding seniors!

The Board of Directors of ECCC PTA is proud to continue its rich tradition of supporting and celebrating student success through the scholarship program. We wish all of our members a relaxing and safe summer holiday and we look forward to collaborating with you again in support of our children.
