Commission recognizes 4‑H students who competed nationally and won scholarships
Summary
St. Clair County commissioners honored three 4‑H students — Emma, Ava Mullins and Sophia Gibbs — who advanced to national poultry contests and earned $1,000 Auburn University scholarships; commissioners noted the county previously provided $4,000 to support participation.
At the start of the work session, commissioners took time to recognize local Extension Service and 4‑H achievements. Ashley from the Extension Service and Elena, the county 4‑H coordinator, introduced three youth who had competed at state and national poultry contests.
Elena explained that county funding of $4,000 the previous year helped pay registration fees so three students could attend national competitions in Louisville, Kentucky. As a result of their national participation, staff said all three — Emma, Ava Mullins and Sophia Gibbs — received $1,000 scholarships to Auburn University in poultry science and related studies. Commissioners praised the students' workforce‑development experience and encouraged continued county support for extension programs.
Quotations: "Because of their participation at the national level, all three of them have received a $1,000 scholarship to Auburn University," Ashley said during the presentation.
This recognition was administrative and ceremonial; no formal action was taken.
