Nannie Kirk Scholarship
Purpose
This fund was established in honor of Nannie Kay Kirk, to provide funding for a Summers County High School student aspiring to pursue a career in nursing. Nannie was a 1959 graduate of Hinton High School, and in 1962, graduated from the Chesapeake & Ohio Hospital School of Nursing as a Registered Nurse, practicing for several years at Hinton Hospital. In 1968, she became Hinton's first Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Instructor, teaching and graduating hundreds of students, who she was always proud to say had all passed their boards on their first try. She left the LPN program in 1974 and began teaching the Certified Nursing Assistant program at the Summers County Career Center and later Summers County High School when the two merged, until her retirement.
