Susan M. Badger Education Award

The Susan M. Badger Education Award is dedicated to the memory of Susan Moffit Badger, who served as First Lady and fervent worker in Emanuel Missionary Baptist Church for over 46 years.  Because her family history included some pioneer educators who were “credentialed” to teach in the South USA, post slavery; supported by a firm belief that EDUCATION would always be the catalyst for change and progress for our people, she supported public school education by serving as an active, long-term volunteer.  She also encouraged four of her six children to pursue careers in education.

For those reasons, this award is to be offered expressly to a graduate (current year) who has expressed an interest and demonstrates an effort to pursue a teaching degree, a teaching certificate, and a teaching career in the field of EDUCATION.
