Marianna Zingone Awarded Scholarship
Chatham Historical Society
The recipient of the Chatham Historical Society 2022 Margaret Keisler scholarship is Marianna Zingone. The $1,500 scholarship, awarded at the commencement exercises of Chatham High School, is named in memory of “Peg” Keisler, a lifelong resident of Chatham who was the Borough’s historian and dedicated educator. It is through the generosity of members and friends that make this scholarship possible.
Chatham is made up of unique individuals, each with a distinctive story to tell. As part of the scholarship process, students were asked to share their own stories. The Historical Society received nine essays all with a different focus. Marianna’s is based on what it was like growing up in Chatham with a very special friend.
Marianna lives with her mom, dad and brother, Joseph, on Edgewood Road. She has a love of history – especially art history and archeology – which she hopes to explore at Bowdoin College in Maine. She also is a talented artist and received the Silver Key Award in Fashion her senior year. With so many interests, Marianna said she is very excited to see what her future holds.
The Chatham Historical Society wishes Marianna a happy life with much success in whatever path she follows.
