In Memory
The Writing Center was dedicated on September 25, 2011 in honor of the Scruggs family and in memory of Kathleen Bentley Scruggs (1959-2001). Scruggs was a 1975 graduate of Athens Academy and of Queen’s College in Charlotte, North Carolina, where she earned a bachelor's degree in English and journalism. She worked as an investigative crime reporter for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for 14 years, and was described by Loran Smith in the Athens Banner-Herald as “smart, diligent, courageous” and “highly skilled because she trained herself to do the job.” Pat Cuneo, Director of Academic Affairs at Athens Academy says, “The Scruggs Family Writing Center will be where many of the most critical elements of an Athens Academy education converge. This is where Athens Academy students will continue to distinguish themselves as effective writers while they are students here, while they are in college, and in whatever they choose to do in their professional lives.”
