   2017 - Lumpkin County Highschool 

The Georgia Mountains Master Gardeners have awarded their 2017  college scholarship to Victoria Leigh Hunter, who graduated from Lumpkin  County High School in May.  Tori will be attending Abraham Baldwin  Agricultural College in Tifton, Georgia in the fall, majoring in Biology  with a goal of becoming a veterinarian.  Tori’s love of animals  was fostered by her family’s involvement with wild animals, owning and  operating a non-profit wildlife zoo in Lumpkin County. The amazing  experiences that came with the learning opportunities created in that  environment, and then through the agricultural experiences working with  the 4-H and FFA during her junior and senior years in high school,  ultimately led Tori to her ambition of becoming a veterinarian. Her love  of animals and discipline in caring for them, even raising a show pig,  has proven a catalyst for her prospective career.
We hope Tori’s dreams come to fruition and wish her well as she embarks on her educational journey.

  2016 - Lumpkin County Highschool

The Georgia Mountains Master Gardeners have awarded their first  annual college scholarship to Peyton Forrester, a May 2016 graduate of  LCHS. Peyton is entering The University of North Georgia this fall as a  biology major. Her career goal is to obtain a biology degree and then go  on to earn a degree in mortuary science and become a mortician.  Peyton  has been active in 4-H since elementary school and says she has  developed social and leadership skills through her involvement in 4-H.  Peyton’s love of science and her desire to help people has influenced  her plan to be a mortician, which will utilize both her science  knowledge and people skills.
We are proud of Peyton and wish her well as she pursues her educational and career ambitions.
