Bailey Simons/Frank Family Memorial Endowed Scholarship

Carrying forward a spirit of kindness, leadership, and joy

Bailey Simons had a remarkable gift for bringing out the best in people. A Rootstown High School student, cheerleader, gymnast, and gymnastics coach known as “Miss Bailey,” she touched countless lives through her enthusiasm, compassion, and willingness to put others first.

Created in her memory after her tragic passing at age 17, the Bailey Simons/Frank Family Memorial Endowed Scholarship supports graduating Rootstown High School seniors pursuing education at a college, university, technical, or trade school.

The scholarship honors the qualities that made Bailey so special—leadership, strength, compassion, mentoring, community involvement, and volunteerism—ensuring that her uplifting spirit continues to inspire young people for years to come.
