2014 Vincent J. Dooley Awards

April 17th, 2014 — Posted in: Dooley Award

Emily Thurmond and Colin Humble Win Scholarships

Emily Thurmond of Darlington School and Colin Humble of George Walton High School were named as the recipients of the four year scholarships by Coach Dooley at the Awards ceremony on April 5.  Both recipients had very distinguished high school careers.  In particular it was noted that Emily had begun a program of raising money for musical instruments for mentally challenged students in a nearby school, and Colin had begun a Christmas program for the homeless that led to an ongoing program of groceries, meals twice a week, and a bicycle restoration project for the homeless.

SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS ANNOUNCED AT TURNER FIELD

Annabeth Pruett of Prince Avenue Christian School and Jonathan Conner of Tucker High School were announced as the recipients of the four year $1,000 a year scholarships at Turner Field.  Over 500 people braved the rains to be present as Award recipients from the High Schools of Georgia were recognized for their outstanding character and leadership.   “These are the most outstanding young people in the state of Georgia,” said Fred Northup of ABW, “and each person is within arm’s reach of a Class President,  captain of a sport, the President of the Student Body, head of the Beta Society, Head of the Honor Society or countless other honors that have led their school to recognize these young people as the most outstanding young person in their school.”  A complete list of all those honored is below the pictures.
