RE/MAX HomeTown Properties awarded a Scholarship of $5,000 to honor student Stacy Ross of Pell City High School.

Ross began online classes this summer at Georgia Tech and transitioned to the physical campus for the Fall semester. Ross is pursuing a major in Mechanical Engineering. “It is always exciting to award a scholarship to one of our hometown Seniors, but with all the unfortunate circumstances facing the 2020 graduating class, the opportunity to contribute something positive was even more special.” Sharon Thomas, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX HomeTown Properties shared.

High School Seniors were particularly impacted by the Coronavirus situation. Stacy shared her thoughts about missing a large part of her senior year,

“When I first heard that we weren’t coming back to school I was devastated. I felt like I had been robbed of a bunch of high school experiences that I had been looking forward to for years. But after the initial shock of it all, it was really great to see the community come together with such overwhelming support for the class of 2020.”

Sharon says, “It is the sense of community and a desire to invest in the future of our community that inspires me to reward hard working students and help them reach their career goals. The investment almost always come back to our community in one way or another.”
