Cheek with a plaque to com
memorate his many years
of enthusiastic service and
loyalty to the college.
Cheek’s father, a cotton
farmer, encouraged all 10
of his children to pursue
an education, and Cheek’s
extensive history with MGC
began when his father sent
him to enroll in the college
with a bale of cotton to pay
his tuition. He continued to
pay his way through school
by working 10 cents an hour
jobs during the school year
and accepted a 50 cents a
day farming job with the col
lege during the summers.
Cheek graduated from
MGC in 1933 at just 16
years old. He went on to
earn a bachelor’s degree in
1935 and a master’s degree
in education in 1951 from
the University of Georgia.
His wife and all three of
his children also attended
MGC.
Cheek chose to serve on
the MGC Foundation Board
to give something back
to the school that he says
gave him so much. “I owe a
lot to MGC because of the
inspiration I received here,
the good teachers and the
challenges,” Cheek said. “I
wanted to contribute some
thing because MGC has
helped a lot of people like
me that wouldn’t be where
they are today without the
education they received at
the college.”
After completing his edu
cation, Cheek began his
teaching career in Blakely
County, moving to Houston
County’s Perry High School
in 1955. Over the course of
his career, Cheek established
two vocational agriculture
departments and headed up
an award winning Future
Farmers of America chapter.
In 1974, he was named
Georgia’s first Vocational
Teacher of the Year. Cheek
worked as a teacher for 37
years before retiring in 1974,
and in 1997, he was hon
ored as Georgia’s Retired
Teacher of the Year. In
2000, UGA inducted Cheek
into its Agricultural Hall of
Fame citing his impact on
“hundreds of young people
and agribusiness leaders
in the southeastern United
States.”
MGC President Richard
Federinko saidd, “Col.
Cheek embodies the spirit
of Middle Georgia College
and its alumni. His story of
a modest beginning turned
into a life of significance and
accomplishment through
education and public service
is a fine example for all of

my father asked to borrow

Boss Watson would inter

blessed with so much that we
want to give something back

Drs. Michael P Butler and
Kelly J. Law. Law said she
had done a similar thing in
Fayette County and thought
about doing it here too to
encourage business “and at
the same time help children
who are afraid and scared
during a crisis.”

said, “we’ll have enough to

and have some left over.”

and was trustworthy. Boss
knew that he would recieve

he would have complained
