Officer Eddie Bounds Scholarship

Last evening, we had the privilege of awarding $2500 scholarships to three very deserving Fletcher High School Seniors in memory and honor of my mentor, coach, and good friend, the late Officer Eddie Bounds.  Mrs. Janice Bounds and I presented these scholarships to Peyton Brown, Vivianna Rivera, and  Riley Probst for their Outstanding Academic Performance in Education and Leadership and for exhibiting the characteristics of Officer Bounds, who was a great man measured by his deeds to help, assist, befriend, mentor, and coach everyone.

Congratulations and best wishes to each of these students in their future endeavors.

We cannot thank these amazing donors enough for contributing to the Eddie Bound’s scholarship drive! Your support is greatly appreciated.
