The Virginia Smith Scholarship awards $1,000 each year to a graduating senior at South Panola
High School who will be a mathematics major at college. The scholarship is administered by her
husband, Billy Smith, a former South Panola agriculture teacher and CTE director. The math
teacher passed away in 1992. At last year’s Class of 1993 reunion, participants made a $500
donation to the scholarship fund, and have continued to support the scholarship since. Pictured
