This scholarship will help support her as she continues her educational journey toward becoming a teacher. We are so proud of her dedication to students, passion for learning, and commitment to growing in the field of education.
Congratulations, Ms. Douglas — Iron Station is cheering you on every step of the way!

Congratulations to Ms. Belk and Ms. Benfield on your retirement! Thank you for the countless lives you have impacted through your dedication, care, and commitment to students, families, and staff during your time at Iron Station and Lincoln County Schools. Your influence and legacy will continue to be felt for years to come.
