BCA Scholarship Winner

Mike Strickler, board member of the Brownsburg Community Association, presents one of the association’s three $1,000 scholarships to Rockbridge County High School senior Sarah Allen. The two other scholarships went to Layne Campbell and Summer Wallace, both of whom graduated from Riverheads. The BCA was able to award three scholarships this year thanks in part to a significant donation from Bruce and Margaret Alexander. Allen, who was awarded a scholarship in honor of Chris and Julie Fox, plans to attend Mountain Gateway Community College for a year before transferring to a four-year school to become a nurse. 06/14/2023 12:00 AM
