Outstanding Young Alumni: Ms. Maggie Morgan, ’09

Ms. Maggie Morgan is a 2009 salutatorian graduate of The Donoho School and a 2013 honors and Taylor medal graduate of the University of Mississippi. Maggie majored in forensic chemistry and is currently a third year medical student at the University of Alabama School of Medicine, Birmingham. While pursuing her medical degree with a focus in Pediatrics, Maggie has interned with the Alabama Department of Forensic Science Crime Lab and has also completed medical student clinical research at UAB’s Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology.

With momentous collegiate and post-graduate studies, Maggie has always made it a priority to share her time and talents with others. She has completed mission trips to Haiti, Belize, and the Dominican Republic and has served as a volunteer with the Oxford Surgery Center, ENT Consultants of North Mississippi, UAB Neonatal Unit, Anniston ENT Group, and at Vacation Bible School. She has also served as a Medical School Peer Mentor.

When asked what advice she would give to our students, Maggie shares, “I would tell students not to be afraid to branch out and do something different whether this pertains to extracurricular activities, such as sports, music, or theater, or attending a particular university even if you are the only one from your class. As a Donoho Falcon, I challenge you to ‘set your goals high’ and to ‘spread your wings and fly’…you will be surprised at how well Donoho truly has prepared you to be able to juggle multiple things and be efficient with your time. Study techniques that I learned at Donoho have helped me organize and process tremendous amounts of classroom material in the Honors program at Ole Miss and in medical school at UAB.”

Maggie is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Gary Morgan. She is the sister to Mr. Windham Morgan ‘07, Mr. Garrison Morgan ‘11, and Mr. Parker Morgan ‘15.
