Superintendent reports $7.8 million in scholarships for Morgan County Schools' Class of 2026
Summary
The superintendent told the Morgan County Schools meeting that graduates of 2026 have secured $7,800,000 in scholarships, a 14.9% increase from the prior year, crediting counselors, teachers and rural development support.
The superintendent announced that the Class of 2026 has accrued $7,800,000 in scholarships, representing a 14.9% increase over the previous year.
"We've reached $7,800,000 in scholarships this time," the superintendent said, adding that the district’s counselors, teachers and career‑technical programs — and an expansion in rural development efforts — likely contributed to the rise in awards. "So that's up 14.9%."
Board members reacted positively. Mr. Humphreys thanked counselors and staff for their work helping students access post‑secondary opportunities; other members praised the mix of college and career readiness supports that contribute to students’ outcomes.
The announcement was presented as informational; no board action or budget allocation accompanied the report. The superintendent framed the figure as a measure of student achievement and district support systems, and members asked staff to continue tracking and supporting scholarship access for future classes.
