Lebanon Bridal School honors Sue Furman with student scholarships

On May 8, 2025, the Lebanon Community School Corporation held its annual LHS Honors Night, celebrating the achievements of students and honoring the legacy of dedicated educators. A highlight of the evening was the recognition of Sue Furman, a beloved teacher at Lebanon Bridal School, who devoted 25 years to shaping the lives of her students. Furman’s philosophy centered on teaching students rather than subjects, emphasizing the importance of character with her classroom motto: "work hard and be nice."

In her memory, a scholarship was established for students who were accepted into a four-year college or university, had been taught by Mrs. Furman, and maintained a GPA of 2.5 or higher. This year, Jared Pollock was awarded the scholarship, reflecting the lasting impact Furman had on her students.

Additionally, the LHS Student Ambassador program, which aims to foster a welcoming environment at Lebanon High School, presented three $1,000 scholarships to Amelia Murphy, Leila Richards, and Ava Sussong. The Student Ambassadors, a group of over 30 students, play a vital role in promoting school spirit through various events, including homecoming dances and freshman orientation activities. Their commitment to creating a positive atmosphere at LHS was acknowledged during the ceremony, where they also served as ushers.

The evening not only celebrated individual achievements but also highlighted the importance of community and support within the school. As the event concluded, the recognition of student leaders who exemplified the values of perseverance, respect, and initiative underscored the school’s commitment to nurturing well-rounded individuals prepared for future challenges. The LHS Honors Night served as a reminder of the profound influence educators have on their students and the importance of fostering a supportive school community.
