The faculty and staff of Spring Lake Park High School are pleased to present the school’s 27th annual Academic and Scholarship Awards Night.

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 $65,000 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.

The reception following the awards ceremony is sponsored by the Spring Lake Park Lions.

The foundation began with a large donation from the Spring Lake Park Lions to Spring Lake Park Schools in 1988 and 1989. Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Foundation were completed in Marchof1990andtheCertificateofIncorporationwasissuedMay1,1990.ThefirstmeetingoftheFoundation’sBoardofDirectorswasheld October 24, 1990.

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.

The Spring Lake Park Lions continue to be the chief contributor to thefoundation.However,sincethe1998fiscalyear,theBoardofDirectors has actively solicited other sources for money.

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.

The Board of Directors consists of the following members with the Lions, school district, and the community each providing members.
