Jacci Vitovsky Community Service Scholarship

Application packets are due in the COLLEGE/CAREER Center, ROOM 620 by 4:00pm MARCH 30, 2018.

Jacci Vitovsky was an honor graduate in her high school class of 1973. She was a member of the German Club, 4-H, Girl Scouts, and Office Education Program during her school career. She also taught Sunday School and was a member of her church choir. She has always been a participant in her school and community.

Jacci was first elected to the Midlothian Independent School District School Board in 1996 to fill the unexpired term of Mark Larkin who had moved out of the district. In 1997, she won a full three-year term on the school board. She served on the Parent Advisory Committee before her election. Jacci always showed a keen interest in MISD and was an advocate for parent participation.

Jacci was also a tireless worker at the First Baptist Church in Midlothian. She and her husband, Ed, are credited with beginning the AWANAS program there. It remains one of the most successful ministries in the church and is credited with much of the growth of the church in recent years. Jacci was a typesetter by trade, a homemaker by choice.

Jacci Vitovsky was a spokesperson for community service. She shared her courage, leadership, and service with our community. She worked on the original marketing plan for Care-Flite Methodist Hospital. For that reason, the faculty and students of Midlothian High School wanted to remember her with this Community Service Scholarship named in her honor. This scholarship is to help two high school seniors (one male and one female) who have shown a true concern for their community and further their education. Scholarships are awarded with the stipulation that the recipients enroll in a junior college, four year college, or trade school and carry a full academic load for the semester that the scholarship is awarded.
