WILMINGTON — Wilmington High School senior Savannah Morgan was awarded the Randall J. Harris Scholarship in graduation ceremonies this spring.

Morgan is the daughter of Tony and Tina Morgan. She is the leading scorer in WHS girls’ soccer history and earned a scholarship to play soccer for Urbana University where she plans to major in nursing.

Randall James (Randy) Harris, a 1971 graduate of WHS, was a staff sergeant for the United States Army, who was killed in a non-hostile, peace-time incident in Honduras 30 years ago, on June 13, 1987 at the age of 34.

Harris was shot by a Honduran solider while on duty at the Palmerola Air Base, which was used to stage training exercises for about 1,200 U.S. regular, reserve and National Guard forces. He was killed on the nine-year anniversary of beginning his military career at Fort McClellan, Ala

The Harris scholarship is awarded annually to a WHS senior whose qualifications include being in the upper third of the graduating class; one who exhibits positive attributes of leadership, service and character; and someone who may or may not demonstrate financial need.

Contributions to the fund can be made to the scholarship in care of the Clinton County Foundation, POB 831, Wilmington, OH 45177.
