Kathryn Holden Slater Scholarship

Description

The Kathryn Holden Slater Best All Around Senior Scholarship was established in 2004 by her family to memorialize a woman who excelled in academics and extracurricular activities including the school newspaper, the basketball team, the cheerleading squad, the acting troupe and the chorus. Kathy was voted by her senior class (1964) at Loudoun Valley High School as “Best All Around” senior girl. Later in life she applied this same enthusiasm to raising a family and to teaching.
