On Tuesday, May 19th, the Rockcastle County Chamber of
Commerce awarded its annual scholarship to Rachel
Woodall, daughter of Harold and Mary Woodall of
Brodhead. Rachel is a current senior at Rockcastle
County High School. She plans to attend Georgetown
College and major in pre-pharmacy. She is active in
Student YMCA, Health Occupation Students of America,
National Honor Society, Beta Club, Piano, Key Club,
French Club, Class Officer/Student Council, Rocket Club
and Golf Team.
As part of the application process, Rachel wrote an
essay detailing the creation of a Rockcastle County
Community Center and adjoining Arboretum which would
include walking trails, recreational areas and an
outdoor amphitheater.
The Rockcastle County Chamber of Commerce Scholarship
supports Rockcastle County students in their pursuit of
a higher education. Recognizing that our young people
are the county’s most important investment, the
Rockcastle County Chamber of Commerce established the
scholarship in 2007.
