See Rock City (SRC), Inc. has selected Emily Clark as the recipient of the Martha Bell Miller Scholarship for 2016 in the amount of $2,000. This annual award honors Martha Bell Miller and her legacy of portraying the beloved “Mother Goose” at Rock City, as well as recognizing a current partner (employee) of SRC for his or her educational efforts.

“We are so excited to have Emily as our 2016 scholarship winner,” said SRC President & COO Susan Harris. “Almost as if Martha Bell herself envisioned it, Emily has changed and grown in her time working on our team, and the training opportunities she has received working here have fueled her educational dreams. With the scholarship now being renewable for up to four years, Emily will be able to finish her studies completely while working with us. We are incredibly proud of her and look forward to her future success.”

Clark began her work at Rock City on the food service team in 2013 and currently works in many food locations throughout SRC including helping with catering and setup for special events. She graduated from Dade County High School in 2015 and is attending the Advanced Emergency Medical Technician/paramedic program at Georgia Northwestern Technical College. She recently completed the Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) certification class offered by Rock City and serves as an EMR for guests and partners at the attraction. She has several family members who have also worked for SRC, including her mother Amy, the company’s retail manager.

In 2009, the scholarship committee at SRC made the decision to name the award after Martha Bell Miller, a lifelong educator and promoter of character and integrity, who dedicated her professional life to education. She worked as Mother Goose from 1983 – 2005, but her love of Rock City began on opening day in 1932 when she was one of its first visitors. “Ma Goose” as she was affectionately called, had a love for learning and for Rock City that is something the company hopes can be imitated and remembered well through this scholarship.
