59 Lexington 2 students inducted as Myrdis Walker Scholars
Almost 60 Lexington District Two students were inducted into the Myrdis Walker Scholars program on
Feb. 16, at the Brookland-Cayce High School auditorium.
The Myrdis Walker program recognizes African-American students in grades eight through twelve who have demonstrated the potential to excel in academics.
In order to qualify, a student must be identified as gifted according to the South Carolina criteria or have acquired a class rank in the top fifteen percent of his/her high school class. An additional goal of the program is to establish a peer support group of outstanding African-American student scholars in our school district.
Mrs. Myrdis Walker taught at R. Earle Davis Elementary School in Lexington District Two for many years. She was truly a “gifted”teacher who challenged and inspired all of her students. Myrdis Walker valued education and had a passion for everyone to learn as much as possible.
