At the conclusion of each school year, the Valley Central Teachers' Association provides scholarships to graduating seniors based on scholastic record, financial need, personality, and participation in extra-curricular activities. These scholarships include the Donald Brooks Memorial presented to a senior planning to enter the teaching field. Since 1985 the VCTA has awarded a total of $53,000 in scholarships to graduating seniors.

 

The following is a list of scholarship recipients for each school calendar year, along with the monetary award received by each winner. The VCTA is proud of the important role that teachers and teacher unions play in promoting and safeguarding high academic and behavioral standards in public education. In celebration of our own efforts and dedication, and in recognition of the outstanding efforts and accomplishments of our talented students and their vigilant parents, we present the following scholarship recipients for your review.
