For more than 40 years, Debbie Cox has devoted her career to nurturing the growth and development of young children in Centerville-Abington Community Schools. As the heart behind the district’s before-school, after-school, and summer CARES programs, and as a beloved preschool teacher, Debbie has provided thousands of children with safe, joyful, and enriching experiences. Her impact extends beyond the classroom to colleagues, families, and generations of learners who have benefited from her passion for early childhood education.

In honor of her retirement and lifelong service to the Centerville community, we are proud to announce the creation of The Debbie Cox Educator Scholarship. This one-time award, administered through the Wayne County Foundation, will support a graduating Centerville High School senior who plans to pursue a degree in early childhood education.
