Anna Probst has been named the recipient of the Delbert and Maradyl Facklam Scholarship.
Anna is a 2026 graduate of Teutopolis High School and plans to study Pre-Med at the University of Illinois.
The Delbert and Maradyl Facklam Scholarship is open to seniors at Teutopolis High School and is awarded based on an essay titled “How I Plan to Give Back to My Community,” as well as academic achievement and financial aid.
The scholarship was established by the late Delbert Facklam, for the purpose of perpetuating higher education opportunities for Teutopolis High School graduates in memory of the Teutopolis High School faculty and classmates of the Class of 1939. Facklam was born in Stewardson and attended St. Michael School in Sigel until his senior year, when he attended Teutopolis High School. After retiring from the U.S. Navy, Facklam lived most of his adult life in California. However, he never abandoned the regional area where he spent his earliest years.
