Clayton High senior Y’Zana Lee Randle received the inaugural Marlon Lee Scholarship on Senior Night during halftime at the Girls’ Varsity basketball game. The $1500 scholarship was presented by the Smithfield-Selma High Class of 1992. The Marlon Lee Scholarship, named after Randle’s father, who passed on May 25, 2025, was a proud product of Johnston County Public Schools.

He graduated from Smithfield-Selma High Class of 1992, where he played on the Spartans basketball team. ā€œIt means a lot to me to be the first recipient of the Marlon Lee Scholarship. The fact that my dad’s good works were seen and valued by so many is a true reflection of his leadership,ā€ Randle remarked.ā€œ

Leading with the Heart
ā¤ļø Last night, JCPS proudly celebrated our 2026 Leading with the Heart recipients! ā¤ļø

Inspired by the book ā€œLeading with the Heart,ā€ written by Mike Krzyzewski, the event recognizes one staff member from each school and various central services departments. Honorees were nominated by their peers based on several factors, including an enduring commitment to their role, a positive attitude, and an undeniable lasting impact on others.

We honor all 54 recipients for their commitment and their work that does not go unnoticed. Thank you! ✨
