Susan K. and Douglas E. Dodge Scholarship Fund

Sue and Doug Dodge established a scholarship fund to thank and benefit two communities that have had a great influence on the Dodge Family.

Doug’s career in education began in Reed City with a student teaching assignment. That beginning turned into a 17 ½ year professional relationship with the Reed City Public Schools. Doug’s first appointment as a public school superintendent was with the Shepherd Public Schools and it is the Shepherd community that the Dodges choose to make their home.
