Carolyn was an engaging teacher who demanded the best from her students and taught them to excel in the choirs, Chamber Singers, and singing groups at various school activities. Her students were known for entering state and local contests and scoring very high marks for excellence. She made sure that most school activities included music in some form. Over the years, Carolyn directed many of the most popular and well-known Broadway musicals to the delight of high school students and their parents alike. Many of her students were music majors in college and a few went on to successful professional careers. Her husband, John Edwards, established this memorial scholarship so that Carolyn can be honored by those who appreciated her as a teacher, admired her teaching skills and respected her as a person.
