Ironton High School Commencement
May 26, 2019

This year’s commencement ceremony was held in Conley Sports Center due to weather. Marking only the second time that the ceremony has been moved.

Good evening. My name is Dave Osborne and I am the son of Dr. and Mrs. Barney Osborne. Tonight marks the 21st year of awarding the Dr. and Mrs. Barney Osborne Memorial Scholarship here at Ironton High School. The scholarship is a one-time $1,500 scholarship given to an Ironton High School graduating senior who has excelled not only in the classroom, but in extracurricular activities, as well as helping the Ironton community.

The scholarship is in honor of my father who, as a surgeon and family physician, served the community of Ironton and Lawrence County for over 30 years before his passing in 1985 and my mother, who supported our family and lived in Ironton almost all of her life until her passing in 2002.

The winner of tonight’s scholarship has significant academic accomplishments while at Ironton High School including a 3.8 GPA and volunteering in the Tiger Community Service Group, Children’s Character Breakfasts, Buckeye Classic Volunteer and Impact Club Community. So tonight I am proud to present the 2019 Dr. and Mrs. Barney Osborne Memorial Scholarship to Daly King.
