HOW GILMER BECAME A COUNTY

 

(The documented and authoritative history)

 

Since the discontinuance of the Glenville H.S. Alumni Association’s annual reunion, new contributions to the scholarship fund have been practically non-existent, aside from a couple of faithful contributors.  Therefore, the Glenville H.S. Alumni Scholarship Committee has made the decision to no longer accept scholarship applications from GCHS seniors.  The funds remaining in the GHSAA Scholarship Fund are being transferred to the Glenville State University Foundation for the continued benefit of Gilmer County High School graduates who desire to attend Glenville State University. Starting in the Fall of 2024 GCHS students may apply for scholarships from the GHSAA Scholarship Fund that will be administered by Glenville State University.  Contact Glenville State University for further information.

Since its inception in 1999, the Glenville High School Alumni Association Scholarship Program has awarded almost $400,000 to deserving Gilmer County High School students to help further their education.

The following GHS Scholarship Committee members were serving on the committee when it was disbanded:  Julia Murin Lee, (Scholarship Committee Chairperson) William F. "Bill" Gainer, Quentin "Ted" Stewart, David Hall, Carol Ellison Ford, Sue Ann Stalnaker Charles, and John Gainer.
