Recently, Bartlett High School was honored to serve as the host for the inaugural Patrick Wallace memorial scholarship presentation. During his time at BHS, Patrick was an energetic, outgoing, and talented member of the class of 2018. His involvement and leadership helped create the B52 Pep Crew, organizing it into the spirited group it is today, and he was a fixture at BHS athletic events. Sadly, Patrick passed away from cancer in April 2025 and in his memory, his family wished to recognize a student who had similarly given so much to BHS.
This year's recipient is Jaiden Wallace, who will continue her education at UT-Knoxville to major in nursing. During her time at BHS, Jaiden served as president of the B52 Pep Crew and captain of the basketball cheerleading squad. Her enthusiasm extended beyond BHS as a member of the Memphis Grizzlies "Blue Bunch", performing at Grizzlies home games and representing the organization in the community.
Not only do they share last names, but Patrick's family knew Jaiden was the right choice when they heard how instrumental she had been in making B52 Pep Crew a group for all students, encouraging involvement, leadership, pride, and support for her fellow students.
We are so thankful to the Wallace family for honoring Patrick and are proud of the impact Jaiden contributed to BHS!
