Principal Challenge to Support the Dr. Tyler Wallace Foundation

One of our feeder schools, Barnwell Elementary, has asked the greater community to join together to support the Dr. Tyler Wallace Foundation. Last year, Charisse Gilbert, Barnwell’s 2021 Teacher of the Year, lost her younger brother, Dr. Tyler Wallace, who had just graduated from medical school. Tyler's story was featured on the news last year,

(www.wsbtv.com/news/dr.tyler.wallace), and currently the defendant (accused of drunk driving) is not behind bars and the family is still seeking justice.


Mrs. Gilbert’s family created The Dr. Tyler Wallace Foundation in his honor, that awards yearly scholarships for UGA & Augusta Medical College students whom have exhibited altruism, leadership, compassion and other conscientious characteristics during their educational tenure. Through this Foundation, Tyler’s smile and love will continue to make an impact on the lives of other students and their families.


Barnwell’s staff raised nearly $1500 this week to support the Dr. Tyler Wallace Foundation. Let’s join together and see if our greater community can meet or exceed this amount. Please consider making a donation to support Mrs. Gilbert and the Dr. Tyler Wallace Foundation.
