The Brett Creel Memorial Scholarship
Brett Creel was a 2019 graduate of Boone High and a member of a multigenerational family of Alumni. A student of the Boone Health Academy for his 4 years at Boone he discovered his passion for helping others.
Throughout this program, he learned and experienced various aspects of health fields as well as practical and responsible ways to live and share his knowledge. Starting at a young age, he loved to give a helping hand and always found ways to help others in need.
Brett was a senior attending Florida State University pursuing a degree in Public Health. His goal was to become an anesthesiologist to help lessen the fears and anxiety of those undergoing surgery. Unfortunately, on October 23, 2022 he was tragically killed.
His family and friends want to keep his memory and dream alive to help those in need. Therefore, to honor the Boone Health Academy, those in need of medical attention, and Brett, this memorial scholarship was created. This scholarship is funded through the Brett Creel Health Academy Scholarship Fund and supported by the Boone Foundation. This scholarship will benefit a graduating student in the Health Academy at Boone by providing a financial gift towards their college education in the field of public health or medicine sciences.
