Willow Springs Rotary Club presented two $750 scholarships to graduates from Willow Springs High School. Seated Dylan Ferguson and Karis Cochran received the awards for 2026, presented by Club President-Elect Stephanie Beltz-Price.

Dylan, son of Jason and Michelle Ferguson, graduated in the top 10 students after attending school at Willow Springs for 13 years. He plans to continue working this summer and on Sept. 1 will begin school at the North American Lineman Training Center in Tennessee. He became interested in a career as a lineman due to his love of the outdoors and after working with the local FFA after the Bakersfield tornado, he is excited to work in a role to help locals. He was involved in FFA and currently works for Montgomery Farms.

Karis, daughter of Chris and Kim Cochran, graduated Valedictorian and will be attending the University of Mississippi this fall to study elementary education. Karis' parents and grandparents have been involved in education and her parents both attended Ole Miss, meeting there. She will also be a member of the Marching Band, playing alto saxophone. Karis just completed her orientation in Mississippi and is going through all the information they have given her about attending school there. During her time in High School she was very active, participating in Interact (the high school arm of Rotary), Softball, Tennis, Beta Club and FCA.

Congratulations to both students and good luck in your future education. Come back anytime and let us know how things are going. The WS Rotary Club meetings the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month at Pizza Americana at Noon.
