Dr. Mary Jane Caylor
09/15/1942 - 11/11/2023
In honor of an education champion for Huntsville City Schools, as well as the entire state of Alabama, Huntsville Council named their robust scholarship program after Dr. Mary Jane Caylor. A Huntsville native, Dr. Caylor graduated from Huntsville High School and earned her BS and MS degrees and her Ed D from the University of Alabama.
Dr. Caylor taught at the elementary school level and as an adjunct professor with the University of Alabama in Huntsville and Athens State College. In 1982, Dr. Caylor became the first female Superintendent of Huntsville City Schools, a position that she held until 1991. In 1994, she was elected as a member of the State Board of Education, serving four terms. She retired as Dean of Workforce Development at JF Drake State Community College in 2016.
The Huntsville Council of PTAs annually awards up to 12 (twelve) $500 scholarships (a maximum of two scholarships per high school in the Huntsville City Schools system) provided such schools are in good standing with the Huntsville Council of PTAs and with Alabama PTA.
Scholarships are awarded to Huntsville City School seniors who plan to pursue higher education at any accredited institute of higher learning, including vocation and trade schools as well as two-year and four-year universities/colleges.
The funds for these scholarships are raised through the contributions of our local units and concessions at Milton Frank Stadium.
