A dedicated public servant to his constituents and having served as North Carolina’s 6th District Congressman for 30 years, J. Howard Coble was a statesman committed to making NC a leader in education. With education at the forefront, Howard Coble’s nephew, Dr. Ray Coble and his wife Chris created a scholarship fund with the Foundation in honor of Congressman Coble.

In addition to his distinguished career as a leader and legislator, he earned a reputation as being a dedicated public servant to his constituents. Folks back home knew they could count on Howard.
