Ashley Reuss, a senior at Pendleton County High School, was awarded the R. Kenneth Price Jr. Scholarship on May 13. This scholarship is donated in memory of R. Kenneth Price Jr., the superintendent of Pendleton County Schools from 2001- 2005.
In the past four years, Reuss has grown both academically and socially. She has done a wonderful job of keeping her grades A/Bs and was currently on the A/B Honor Roll. She enjoys reading, creating art in her spare time, spending time with her family and helping take care of her grandparents. She worked with the school’s career exploration program with Dolly Rexrode and at the Faithful Friends Animal Clinic. She has a passion for working with and helping animals.
She also absolutely flourished at the library. Rexrode stated that she has never seen her so happy and at home. She loved doing the filing and paperwork. She loved talking to the people who work there and the quiet atmosphere.
Reuss has been accepted to Shepherd University as an honors student in their English Literature program. After graduation from Shepherd, she hopes to return and work at the local library as a librarian.
