Sydney Grubb was the recipient of the 3rd annual Kathryn Spore Memorial Scholarship at the 2024 commencement exercises at New Haven High School. Sydney is the daughter of Ryan and Cassondra Grubb of New Haven.
The Kathryn Spore Memorial Scholarship is in honor of a longtime English and history teacher here at New Haven High School. In August 1965, she moved to New Haven High School, where she taught English and American History until May 1997. For Kathryn, teaching was a passion, not a profession. Her great desire to bring literature, music, and American history alive to her students is perhaps her greatest legacy, in addition to her singular personality and enthusiasm. Each student who went through NHHS during Kathryn’s teaching tenure was impacted by her. She is truly a Shamrock legend.
Sydney was involved in cross country, cheer leading, and track and field. She is also a member of the National Honor Society, FBLA, student council, marching band, and FCCLA while in high school. She works part time at the New Haven Ice Cream Shoppe.
Sydney will continue her education at the William Woods University seeking a degree in Social Work.
