Senior Hollon Skinner earns Girl Scout Gold Award

Hollon Skinner was recently awarded the Girl Scout Gold Award by the Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama. The Gold Award is the highest honor a Girl Scout can achieve, and requires a service project that makes a significant contribution to the community. For her project, Skinner designed and created a prayer garden on the grounds of her parish church, St. Francis Xavier Catholic. She raised funds and coordinated labor for construction and the installation of benches and a statue for the grounds, and she beautifully landscaped the area.  

Skinner is a senior at Mountain Brook High School.  She is a member of the National Honor Society, French Honor Society, varsity softball team and secretary of the Interact Club.

Skinner is the daughter of Kathy and Jay Skinner of Mountain Brook.  She is the granddaughter of Nancy Skinner of Birmingham, and Hanson and Rebecca Couvillon of Huntsville.
