Cherokee County School District students who plan to be educators and attend Reinhardt University will be the recipients of a scholarship thanks to those who have devoted their lives to teaching.

The Cherokee Retired Educators Association made a generous donation of $2,500 to Reinhardt University President Dr. Kina Mallard to be awarded to a CCSD graduate who attends Reinhardt Universitys Price School of Education.

For the past 13 years, the retired educators association has provided scholarships to students attending Reinhardt University. The first donation when the scholarship was created was $500, and it has steadily increased over the years.
