Tiara Ligon

Tiara Ligon

The Indiana Terrace Tenant Organization was joined by St. Edmunds Redevelopment Corp., the Washington Park Neighborhood Association and others to support a young woman headed to college with a promising future.

Tiara Ligon, a resident of the Indiana Terrace Building in Washington Park, is a graduate of Hirsch Metro High School, where she was the Class of 2006 Salutatorian. Tiara was also an honor student in grammar and high school.

Her work paid off. Tiara received a full four-year scholarship to attend the University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

The Washington Park community came together to give Tiara a trunk party on Aug. 14 at the Indiana Terrace Community Room. The show of unity made sure that Tiara went off to college with the supplies and other things that she needed to make a great start.

Thanks to everyone who joined the effort!
