Jan Rowley Memorial Scholarship
|
The Jan Rowley Memorial Scholarship was established in honor of Jan Rowley, a dedicated and passionate educator who spent 40 years teaching English at Ralston High School. Jan was a tireless and enthusiastic teacher, mentor, and highly involved member of the Ralston community. Many days Jan would put in 12 hours teaching, grading essays, and listening to students looking for advice.
Her focus was on empowering students to reach their full potential. She took a particular interest in working with students who needed extra support, helping them develop the skills and confidence to thrive in high school. Her dedication and wisdom inspired countless students to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. |
Outside of the classroom, you could often find Jan working in the press box at football games and announcing wrestling matches. She was also involved in theater, appearing on the stages of The Upstairs Dinner Theater, Chanticleer, Bellevue Little Theater, Dundee Dinner Theater, The Diner Theater, Snap Productions, The Madrigal Christmas Feaste, special events, and Ralston Community Theater.
Jan spent over 30 serving on the Ralston Schools Foundation Board. She loved reading about and choosing scholarship recipients and Heart of Learning Award winners.
