The Presbyterian Home for Children is proud to celebrate the achievements of some remarkable young adults with ties to our Secure Dwelling programming.
Congratulations to Moneè Brown, daughter of Secure Dwellings alumnus Shandra Thomas, who recently graduated from The University of Alabama with her bachelor’s degree in criminal justice using the Home’s Archibald Ritter Green Scholarship.
Four of Thomas’ seven children graduated from Ascension Leadership Academy and continue to blossom in their post-secondary paths—a powerful testament to the impact of education and a loving foundation. Daniel has a wonderful job and career ahead at the Mercedes Plant near Tuscaloosa, while both David and Phaethon graduated from Parris Island and are serving as U.S. Marines.
We’re also cheering for Bizzy’s family. Many of you may remember her story that we shared at Christmas time. Her oldest son, Logan, is attending East Mississippi Community College and is in the U.S. Air Force ROTC at Mississippi State University. He recently earned his pilot’s license and plans to enter the Air Force as an officer. Caleb just finished his freshman year of high school where he is very involved in the theater guild as an actor and member of the tech team. He plans to follow his big brother into the Air Force and specialize in cyber security. And Caleb just landed a summer job at a fine dining establishment! Bizzy’s beautiful daughter, Chasey, is also doing well and thriving in nursing school. These stories remind us that the seeds planted at the Home continue to flourish for generations.
