**May 5th** __ACE THOMPSON SCHOLARSHIP__ This scholarship is presented in memory of Ashley Christopher Everette Thompson (1986-2005), the son of Chris and Emily Thompson of Fayetteville. Ashley was killed by an underage drunk driver in a hit and run incident in March of 2005.

While attending Gray’s Creek and South View High Schools, Ashley was an average student academically, but excelled in the JROTC programs. He wanted to join the military and be a sniper. Ashley struggled with his studies and was often confused and distracted in class. However he maintained enough focus to keep moving forward. Not challenged to his potential, Ashley’s choices in life were far from perfect and his frustrations with school overwhelmed him to the point that he dropped out of high school. He found out the importance of a high school education the hard way. While trying to complete and honestly answer questions on job applications, he would often be seen crying and frustrated over what to write down. He knew employers didn’t want to see “will explain” on an application. An Army recruiter told him that the military was still an option, but he had to finish high school. Picking himself up from out of the wallow, he decided to take advantage of a program at Fayetteville Tech that would allow him to complete his High School studies. He was to enroll in the summer of 2005. Regretfully, he lost his life in March of that same year. Upon his death he would be given a military burial by his JROTC peers.

A student’s self esteem is boosted by the ability to learn, understand, and be taught. The catalyst for this is a great teacher. Teachers can and will influence a student’s life by setting the bar and showing them the tools to attain their goals.

This scholarship in the amount of $1000 is to be given to a deserving Triton High School student who exhibits the dedication it takes to complete studies in the field of education and challenge students of the future. DEADLINE: **May 5th, 2015** -- Return completed application to your Guidance Counselor
