Tonight we present scholarships to seniors from the SLPHS Local Scholarship Program. These scholarships will help students who are pursuing further education at 4-year colleges, 2-year colleges, technical colleges, and trade schools. This year, the Spring Lake Park High School Local Scholarship Committee is proud and pleased to award more than $50,000 in scholarships to our graduates. It is only through the generosity of the many individuals and organizations in our community that have made these scholarships possible. The Local Scholarship Committee is grateful to all of our contributors for encouraging and financially assisting Spring Lake Park High School graduates in this way. This is a special night when we present academic letters to students in grades 9-12 and the 4th year Academic Excellence Awards to seniors. This honors and recognizes those students who have demonstrated superior scholarship in their classes. We are delighted that you are here and hope that this will be a joyous and memorable evening. This evening s ceremony is dedicated in memory of Beth Young, English teacher, mentor and friend at Spring Lake Park High School. For 25 years, Beth organized this event and worked tirelessly to make sure students succeeded and were rewarded for their outstanding accomplishments. We are eternally grateful for her contributions in encouraging students in their pursuit of academic excellence. 2016 Academic and Scholarship Awards Program Welcome and Comments...

Merek Anderson Salim Bahajry Andrew Bartlett Selena Berry Terrell Her Nicole Hoffman Olivia Jacobs Jacob Potratz Mitchell Raihle Allyson Rogers The purpose of this foundation is to provide scholarships for Spring Lake Park High School graduates and to raise funds to ensure a future self-perpetuating source of income. Djenana Bostan Nathan Brophy Zaina Khatoon Edward Kosin Davin Sang Sophia Schultz Amira Shanaa The Spring Lake Park Lions continue to be the chief contributor to the foundation. However, since the 1998 fiscal year, the Board of Directors has actively solicited other sources for money. Sara Carmean Adam Chanthakeo Namgyal Chozom Marisa Kwong Kyle Le Quinn Shroyer Presently, it is the policy of the foundation to award only the interest earned from the scholarship fund. This action allows the principle to continue to grow as new money is accepted.
