Alexandria, LA (10/4/2024) – In May 2024, the Peabody Alumni Endowment Foundation awarded $10K in scholarships to five deserving Peabody Magnet High School students, each receiving $2,000 to support their academic journeys.

The Peabody Alumni Endowment Foundation was established by Peabody High School and Peabody Magnet alumni to preserve the school’s legacy and support future generations.

The retreat focused on strategic planning for 2025 and beyond, with discussions covering the foundation’s by-laws, suggested amendments, and compliance with IRS rules.
