Maxine Aldrich Merit Awards

Annually, since 1987, the Society has invited Sugar Hill students to apply for the Education Merit Award.  The award is given to students who demonstrate energy, engagement and commitment to furthering their education.  To be eligible, Sugar Hill students must have resided in the town for two years.  In 2019, the award program was named for member, Maxine Aldrich, who has been a loyal program steward since its inception.
