Phillips-Frye Scholarship
Supporting educational excellence for future generations.
About This Scholarship
Established to honor the Phillips and Frye families. This scholarship supports students with financial need pursuing college education.
Press Release
The most recent named scholarship, which will be awarded to a 2019 FHS graduate, the Phillips-Frye Scholarship, honors the lives of John R. and Angelene C. Phillips and Fred C. and Ruth L. Frye, long-time residents of the Fredericktown area.
By establishing the Phillips-Frye Scholarship, Gary Frye (FHS '60) and Sharon Phillips Frye (FHS '62), are not only keeping the name of their loved ones alive in the community, but, also, ensuring that funds will be available in the future for FHS graduates.
Angelene C. Phillips
Special recognition is given to the teaching career of Angelene Phillips for her 12 years as a Home Economics teacher at FHS, followed by her serving as Commercial Foods Instructor at Knox County Vocational School, and later as an Ohio State University Extension Agent for Knox County.
She retired in 1983 but is still remembered as a favorite teacher by many of her students, 4-H members, and their parents.
Fred C. Frye
Further recognition through the Phillips-Frye Scholarship is for the long, active community service of Fred C. Frye, working through the Lions Club, Salvation Army, and First Baptist Church, among others.
Mr. Frye served 8 years on the Fredericktown School Board, which, over 50 years ago, had the foresight to buy the large tract of land which allowed for the construction of recent and present school buildings and athletic facilities.
