No Donation Is Too Small

*
Give what you can

The SHS Scholarships program is now receiving donations. Our first goal is to raise $30,000 so that we can begin awarding scholarships. As of September, we have pledges for $5,000.00. The ultimate goal is to raise $1,000,000 over five years. This means that we are asking you to give, not once, but every year over the next five years.

In order to make this a perpetual scholarship program that works long after we are but memories, about five per cent of the principle will be used for scholarships each year. That allows the principle to grow.

How much should I give?

No donation is too small.

Give $5.00, $10.00 or $100.00. Give more if you can.


If you wish, you could give to commemorate your graduating class. For instance, the class members of 1957 could give $19.57, $195.70, $1,957.00 or even $19,570.00. Give what you can but remember, no donation is too small.

At this time there is no other official fundraising event. This is it. Look at our News blog for updates and to learn more.

Please note that all donations are to be sent directly to
