The Endowment Fund was created in honor of G. James Gholson; a master teacher and administrator, and an advocate for the children of Prince George's County public schools. Mr. Gholson served as principal of Fairmont Heights High School from 1950 to 1969 and had an enduring influence on the lives of thousands of students. In recognition of his commitment to educational excellence, our goal is to create an endowment of $50,000.00, which will be used to provide scholarships to exceptional students.
