As a high school student, Chalfant has been active in Coumbia Children’s Theatre and its STAR (Student Thespians Achieving Results) program to raise over $10,000 for local charities. She’s also been president of the S.C. Association of Independent Home Schools Statewide Student Council.
Foy is chairman of Capital Rotary’s scholarship selection committee. The club has been supporting the educational aspirations of local high school graduates for more than 20 years. Its scholarships are based on a combination of academic performance, extracurricular activity and economic need.
