Sarah Ann Butler, a native of Sanford, Florida was an excellent scholar, leader, and role model. She attended the public schools of Seminole County, graduating in 1960 from Crooms Academy. Furthering her education, she attended Volusia County Community College, where she earned an Associate of Arts Degree, and Tennessee A. and I. State University. She completed Lincoln Business College and later received her Bachelor's of Science Degree at Edward Waters College in Jacksonville, Florida where she specialized in Business and Special Education. She spent the majority of her life teaching others. She was employed by the Duval County School Board as a Special Education Instructor. She worked with children who had special needs and emotional handicaps. She also worked with numerous young adults through the GED Program at Florida Community College. Several would later go on to pass the exam and receive the equivalent of a high school diploma. Sarah A. Butler always taught her students to press on because education was their key to a better future. In 1997, Jan Hice (SBA '92) and four other Georgetown alumae -- Karen A. Clanton (CAS' 92), Angelique McLin-Kelley (SBA'92), Ava Rogers (SFS'92), Tajamika A. Paxton (SBA'92) -- established the Sarah A. Butler Scholarship Fund to support students who require financial assistance to buy books, pursue study abroad opportunities and prepare for graduate school. We decided that we could make a greater impact if we pooled our individual donations.
