Zia Patel awarded Teresa Graddick Memorial Scholarship
Clinton High School graduate Zia Patel was chosen by a scholarship committee for the Teresa Graddick Memorial Scholarship.
Mrs. Graddick was the nurse at Clinton High School and passed away unexpectedly in the summer of 2020. Her family and friends decided to implement an annual scholarship in her memory to honor a Clinton High graduate entering the healthcare profession.
Zia will enroll in the Biology program at the University of South Carolina this fall and hopes to become an anesthesiology assistant.
Zia played varsity soccer at Clinton High and was an integral part of the yearbook staff. She was most often seen with a camera looped around her neck at ballgames and other Clinton High events. She also served several years on Clinton High Student Council – this past year as the Senior Class President.
