The Southern Union Foundation is pleased to announce that Kendall Patterson, a senior at Wadley High School, is the 2021 recipient of the Donna Hall Scholarship.

Established in memory of long-time SU supporter Donna Hall, the scholarship is sponsored by Remax Lakefront of Wedowee and is awarded annually to a future educator who is acquiring the pedagogy and methodology to teach a rigorous, real-world curriculum, wants to inspire students to be successful, independent, critical thinkers and understands the importance of building a positive and respectful teacher-student relationship. Preference is given to a Randolph County student.
