WESSON – The F.K. and Lucile Horton Scholarship was recently endowed with the Copiah-Lincoln Community College Foundation by their children Letha Presley, Francis K. Horton, III, and Alison Fryant. This scholarship was established to benefit a student pursuing an education in the Early Childhood Education program, with preference given to a single mother.

Lucile Horton was director of the Early Childhood Development Technology program for many years and was honored with the Ageless Hero Award from the town of Wesson. The Hortons were members of Sylvarena Baptist Church in Wesson where they both taught Sunday school and F.K. was a deacon for 40 years.
