Patricia McVeigh was a counselor at Reynoldsburg High School from 1970 until her untimely passing in 1987. She was also the advisor of the In the Know team at the school for many years. Her husband Emil McVeigh established the scholarship in her name through his will when he passed away in 2010. Mrs. McVeigh had broad and varied interests, but the pursuit of knowledge and sharing that knowledge with students was the keystone of her life. She had a passion for the arts, particularly music, dance, literature, and theater. She enjoyed history and always had a deep understanding of current events. Politics was a topic of great interest and she was eager to engage in a conversation on the political climate in the nation at any moment. She was a voracious reader and ever curious to learn all sides of an issue. She and her husband Emil together enjoyed thoroughbred horseracing, which took them to America’s most iconic racetracks. But most of all, she enjoyed interacting with and learning from people from all walks of life.
