(Eden, NC May 24, 2022 ) – Paige Coffman, the daughter of Timothy and Teresa Coffman and a 2022 Morehead High School graduate, has been awarded $2,000 as the 25th annual Lynn H. Smith Memorial Scholarship recipient. The scholarship was formed in 1997 to both honor the memory of Lynn H. Smith and to further the education of a Morehead High School graduate who is entering a four-year fine arts degree program.
Coffman will be attending Appalachian State University to major in Art and Biology. She said she’s looking forward to gaining “the knowledge and education provided by Appalachian State’s wonderful art program to learn techniques and skills that I would not be able to learn anywhere else.”
Lynn H. Smith, who passed away in 1997, was a graduate of Morehead High School where she was a member of the glee club in the late 60’s. She was an active part of the music program at Spray United Methodist Church and many other community events. She was truly a lover of music. This scholarship was created 25 years ago to allow Mrs. Smith to continue supporting local young people and artists like she did in life.
