Ethan Bradford of Jonesboro-Hodge High School has been selected as the 2025 recipient of the annual Paula Jones Williams Memorial Scholarship. Given each year to the JHHS graduate who best fits the model set by the beloved educator in the Jonesboro-Hodge School System for 34 years, who lost her life in 2020, the scholarship can be used at an accredited 2 or 4-year University/College, or a Vocational-Technical College. 

“My family and I would like to congratulate the winner of the fifth annual Paula Jones Williams Memorial Scholarship,” said Clay Williams. “We had several very deserving applicants, and the choice was difficult. Congratulations to Ethan Bradford! Mom loved you, and I know she is happy with our decision. Best of luck as you pursue your dreams!
