FROM STAFF REPORTS

The Robert S. Howell Spirit of Service Award has been created at the George Snow Scholarship Foundation from SouthTech Academy.

Howell was a founding member of the board and recently passed away.

To honor his memory, Mayra Palacio and Alvincin Louis, the valedictorian and salutatorian at SouthTech each received scholarships at a recent reception of the Foundation held at Florida Atlantic University and attended by SouthTech principal Diane Tidwell, along with Howell’s widow, Audrey, and daughter Linda Hines.

Tidwell also attended a recent scholarship awards ceremony at the Republican Women’s Network Club, where Bryce Rubenfield, one of South Tech’s Culinary Academy students, was presented with a scholarship to Florida Culinary Institute. 

“We are very proud of our SouthTech students, creating success stories one student at a time”, said Tidwell.”
