Pat Ellison Memorial Scholarship

The Pat Ellison Memorial Scholarship

Pat Ellison taught for 35 years as an Arkansas music educator. During this time, she was hired as the director of bands at Springdale High School and the coordinator of instrumental music for the Springdale School District, a position that she held for 23 years. For Miss Ellison, it was all about her students and the music. Still today, her former students quote her famous motto, “It’s we…. not me.”
