Established by the Valley Local School Board, the Doug Booth Scholarship Fund will assist a graduating senior annually from Valley High School who possesses the following: the ability to think critically and creatively, express loyalty to the school, family and community; desire to contribute to the community; competitive spirit; commitment to goals; and academic performance. The first recipient was chosen in the spring of 2004.
 
The Valley Local School Board has named the fund the “Doug Booth Scholarship” in honor of Mr. Douglas L. Booth who has spent his entire career of over 40 years as a teacher, coach, principal and superintendent in the Valley Local Schools. Throughout his tenure, Mr. Booth has shown a commitment to providing a better quality of education for students of the Valley Local School District. He has exemplified throughout his career the power of ideas, creativity, loyalty and competitive pride. He, along with the Board, provided leadership for the district to obtain modern buildings and facilities that promote quality teaching and learning for the students of the district. The scholarship is a means to acknowledge the years of efforts and achievement of Douglas L. Booth and is an expression of gratitude to him for his contributions to current and future generations of students. 
 
“I take great pride in the accomplishments of the school district and our students’ achievements, all of which is a tribute to the dedicated staff and Board of Education. My role has simply been to serve the community of Lucasville and to care for our most prized possessions, our children. I am truly humbled and proud that the board has chosen to name this scholarship in my honor. It is my sincere hope that these funds will assist worthy students in attaining an education that might not otherwise have been available to them,” comments Booth. 
 
The Valley Local School Board believes in and supports the continuous physical, mental and emotional growth of the students enrolled in the Valley Local School District. The Board believes that students should be given the opportunities to participate in society to the best of their abilities. Being dedicated to these beliefs, the Board has established this fund for the purpose of providing students scholarships to assist deserving students to attain a college education. 
 
Board member, Dr. Charles Wilson explains, “this is an idea that the Board has discussed for a long time. Currently, Valley Local High School has many different scholarships to offer worthy students, but the amount just does not make a big enough difference in the cost of higher education. The scholarship fund was created in hopes of someday providing full scholarships to deserving students who otherwise would not have the opportunity to seek higher education."
 
Booth states, "making a difference in the lives of children is what all of us in the education field strive for each day. This is the best retirement gift an educator could possibly receive. I sincerely thank those who made it happen.”
