Burris Class of 1949

While the Burris Class of ‘49 has widely dispersed in the 70 years since their graduation, one thing has continued to ground them in their past: memories of their wonderful homeroom teacher, Angie Wilson.

Paul Judy, president of the Class of ‘49, remembers Angie as a “sparkling teacher, always enthusiastic and cheery... She expected people to have done their homework, and she had no inhibition when calling on you.” She also expected her students to pursue higher education. It was in this spirit that the class established a scholarship in her honor following their 60th reunion.

Today, the Burris Class of 1949 Angie Wilson Memorial Scholarship is awarded to a Burris student planning to go to college full-time to become a teacher, ensuring that Angie’s legacy will continue to impact local students and future teachers for years to come.
