In honor of 2018 Jonesboro-Hodge High School (JHHS) graduate and former Jonesboro-Hodge Middle School Coach, Tay’Vionne Tate, who tragically lost his life in 2025 as a result of an automobile accident, the “Coach Tate” Memorial Scholarship has been established. The award, which will be a minimum amount of $500.00 that can expand with community support, will benefit graduating seniors of JHHS. The hope is that at least two JHHS seniors will be able to be awarded this year.

Donations and sponsorships to fund the scholarship are now being accepted. To show your support, you are asked to complete the form shown below. Forms are also available at the main office at Jonesboro-Hodge High School, located at  225 Pershing Hwy. in Jonesboro, or by messaging Tamara Tate on her Facebook page. Payment options are shown below as well.
