Margaret Ray McAlear Scholarship Endowment

After Margaret McAlear, a longtime area teacher, died in 1996, her family found a letter she had written to them. “Do something for a very deserving person,” she wrote, “a lone woman supporting children, for educational purposes.” That is one of the reasons why they established an endowment in her name. In addition, two of her sons graduated from Delta College and “the energy and spirit that she instilled in her students and family seem to be carried on through the faculty of Delta College,” according to her family.
