At this year’s Awards Ceremony held on May 29, 2019, Fred Bollen presented two scholarships to outstanding students. Some of our class members have asked us to recognize a graduate who planned to go on to a higher education to work in the “trades”. There is a shortage of good plumbers, electricians, automobile specialists, etc. so we wanted to award a second $1000 scholarship to a deserving student with your additional help and donations. Most students graduating from these programs find themselves fortunate enough to be employed immediately after graduating which makes everyone happy.
Our scholarship recipients are:
1). Taylor Raymond who ranks 15th in a class of 310 & plans
to attend the University of New England in Maine where she will pursue Marine
Science. Taylor is a National Honor Society member and a well rounded student
who has participated on the volleyball team, swim team and the past two years
has been on the yearbook club & is the photography editor this year. Her
hobbies include dancing & photography.
2). Zachary Arsenault is in the top 20% of his class & plans to attend Mass Bay Community College where he’ll major in Automotive Technology. He was a member of the boy’s soccer team at LEHS for four years, most recently as captain. Zachary’s interests are cars (especially muscle cars), fashion & cooking. He has been a Guidance Aide & a diligent student throughout his years in high school.
We wish both Taylor & Zachary much success & happiness in college and in life. We also want to thank everyone who applied for our scholarship and wish them much success. They were all such deserving candidates.
We thank Fred Bollen for representing our class at this important event, and to those of you who generously donated this year to make it possible for our class to give a second class scholarship.

Good luck to these deserving students. I am glad the class is helping students that are planning a career in the trades as well as those who plan to attend college. This recognition will motivate other students who don’t plan on attending college but need to do well in high school to fulfill their dreams.
