Randy and Carol Ham Memorial Scholarship

This scholarship was established by Dr. and Mrs. Carol Ham, friends and associations in memory of their son, friend and colleague, Dr. Randy Carol Ham, who died on September 7, 1992. Dr. Ham received his bachelor’s, master’s and specialist’s degrees at Arkansas State University, and a doctorate from the University of Mississippi. At the time of his death, Dr. Ham was in his third year as principal of Harrisburg High School.
After the death of Dr. Carol Ham, his widow and Dr. Randy Ham’s mother, has made changes to the memorial scholarship to honor his memory. Dr. Carol Ham was a professor in the Department of Education Leadership at Arkansas State University during his career.
The scholarship, first awarded in 1993, recognizes students, such as yourself, who demonstrate outstanding academic work, are dedicated to a career as a secondary principal, and are committed to improving education opportunities in the Delta.
