The scholarship will pay tribute to the life and legacy of Sgt. Perry Hodge, a dedicated public servant who served as a former Pulaski County deputy and school resource officer for Pulaski County Public Schools for 15 years. Hodge tragically lost his life in January 2021 in a head-on car crash.
Starting in 2026, the Sgt. Perry Hodge Memorial Scholarship will be awarded annually to a graduating Pulaski County School student. Additional donations will help increase the scholarship amount and expand the number of recipients in the years ahead.
If you’re interested in donating, you can do so here or by mailing a check to Pulaski County Public Schools Education Foundation, PO Box 54, Dublin, VA 24084.
