Our goal

Lidia M. Wallace taught countless students over her 45 year career, primarily at Parkin and Harrisburg High Schools. She taught English, Italian, Spanish, gifted and talented, and a brief lesson in mathematics. She was most passionate about teaching foreign language and was the only Italian teacher in the state of Arkansas at the time. We want to continue Lidia’s legacy by aiding deserving students who desire to pursue a career in teaching. This campaign will go on to fund the Lidia M. Wallace Memorial Scholarship. It is open to any Arkansas high school senior who plans to pursue a college degree in education.
