Grindstone Scholar

At the grindstone, both the material and the worker are transformed. Both become more useful.


We believe the cycle of learning valuable skills and using them to produce will benefit you and your community for the rest of your life.


If you are selected to receive the Grindstone Scholar Award, you will have convinced us that you know how to get things done.


We believe character traits such as overcoming adversity, gratitude, voluntarily taking on responsibility, stewardship, productivity, courage and drive are honorable and should be rewarded.


This site is to honor the character and work of St. Clair County, Alabama high school graduates who have earned the distinction of being a Grindstone Scholar.
