August 6, 2019 - A donation of $5,000 in memory of Requanah Santifer to the Roughrider Scholarship Foundation (RSF) was commemorated with a plaque presentation in front of the Catherine Pinkston Roughrider Scholarship Foundation display case in the front hallway of Center High School.
Requanah Netherly Santifer attended Center ISD graduating with the Class of 1988. She later returned to Center ISD as a teacher. She passed away May 2, 2016 at the age of 45.
Mellody Daniels described her sister Requanah, "(She) lived her life to the fullest and enjoyed children and teaching others. We wanted to make sure that each year a student receives a scholarship in her honor and that is why we are here to represent Requanah Santifer."
The donation provides a perpetual scholarship to a graduating senior each year forward.
