Fort Payne High School senior Benjamin Everett Jr. was selected to receive a $1,000 scholarship from School Superintendents of Alabama (SSA) and Curriculum Associates, the program sponsor. Everett, the son of Ben and Lauren Everett, was among eight students chosen to receive the scholarships by SSA/Schneider Electric Superintendent of the Year finalists, who include Fort Payne Superintendent Jim Cunningham. Chresal Threadgill of Mobile County Schools was selected for the top honor. Helping Cunningham present the scholarship to Everett was Kelly-Ann Parson, representing Curriculum Associates, LLC., which designs research-based print and online instructional materials, screens and assessments, and data management tools. All of the student-recipients intend to pursue a degree in education from one of Alabamaâs public colleges or universities. Everett reportedly plans to attend Montevallo.
