CCHS senior named Roan Scholar
JOHNSON CITY—A Cocke County High School senior is among seven student leaders from across the region selected as a Roan Scholars Leadership Program for the Class of 2018 at East Tennessee State University.
Meredith Ivy Bell, CCHS student leader, will receive a full scholarship to ETSU and four years of leader development experiences and opportunities, such as international travel and study abroad, internships, workshops and seminars, service projects and other unique programs.
The seven selected students represent the largest class of Roan Scholar students in the program’s history.
Outstanding student-leaders from throughout the region are nominated by their high school and selected by the Roan Steering Committee based on their demonstrated excellence and potential in four areas: character, intellectual curiosity, physical vigor, and leadership.
Roan Scholars program director Scott Jeffress said, “As we introduce what will be our fifteenth class of Roan Scholars, we’re excited about them being our largest- ever class and about our plans for continued program growth in the future. These students bring to campus a tremendous amount of talent, passion, and leadership potential; we’re looking forward to all they will accomplish, and the positive impact they will have on ETSU and the region.”
At CCHS, Meredith is a varsity soccer player, serves as Student Government Association president, Beta Club secretary, and school yearbook editor.
She is also active in her church group and with numerous community ministry organizations.
She represented CCHS at Girls State, attended the Governor’s School in Scientific Models and Data Analysis, and was a Teen Board presentee.
Meredith is the daughter of John and Vida Ivy Bell of Newport, and the granddaughter of Dr. Frank and Una Bell and Wayne and Roella Ivy
