Ian Brown was the recipient of our $6,000 scholarship (in honor of our 60th Anniversary of our graduation).  We had 7 applicants.  They were all very deserving students but Ian won us over with his very personal essay.  Prior to the Awards Ceremony we had received $3,000 made in donations toward this year’s scholarship, we are hopeful to receive the remaining amount when classmates purchase their tickets.

Ian plans to attend Regis College and major in Nursing.  He was ranked 32 in a class of 570.  The classes are growing and getting much closer to our number of 632.  He played Varsity Lacrosse for 4 years, was captain for 2 seasons; played Varsity football for 3 years; Varsity golf for his senior year & inducted into the National Honor Society for the 11th & 12th grades.  In 2024 he was an Item All Star.   He has worked the past 3 years at MarketBasket, then at Andy’s Breakfast & Lunch, also being a peer tutor in the guidance office after school mostly Spanish speaking all the while being on the honor roll sophomore year and high honor roll junior & senior year.

We wish Ian much success in college & in life.  We thank Fred Bollen for taking the time to present our scholarship on Awards night to Ian.

Hope to see you on 9/18 at our 60th Reunion!!

Thank you to the classmates who have recently made contributions to the Scholarship Fund.  This year we had many amazing students apply for our scholarship and we were able to give two $1,000 scholarships to Owen McCarthy and James Mulloy.   Scholarship Donations are always welcome and as you can see put to good use.  In order to continue this class tradition, please consider making a donation so next year we may be able to present a $5,000 Scholarship to a worthy student in our 60th Anniversary year.
 
A special shout out once again to Fred Bollen to thank him for presenting our scholarships at the LEHS Awards Night on June 5th to these very smart and deserving students.

Hello Classmates!

Hope this note finds you well.  Our 60th reunion will be held in 2025.  The Committee will start plans for it this year.  We will plan a luncheon since many of our classmates do not drive at night any more.  Our website has served us well in the past, but unfortunately it is a lot more time consuming for Les Libby to send our announcements out to you now so please check your class website periodically to see the latest Memorial additions, Scholarship info, 60th Reunion information, update your address, email, etc.  Our class website is: http://lynnenglish1965.info. 

LEHS Class of ’65 Scholarship

Thank you to all the classmates who made donations last year and some already this year.  Once again our Class is planning a $1,000 Scholarship Award to a deserving student in the graduating class of 2024.  We have given out over $34,000 in scholarships since 1981 and will continue this tradition as long as we can.  No donation is ever too small.  They all add up to a substantial amount.   One of our classmates has told me our class should do more and we should be awarding larger scholarships.  That would be wonderful but we need your contributions in order to accomplish this so please consider a donation!  This year’s LEHS Awards Ceremony is on June 5th.

Please go to the following website to see the posted Class of ’65 application form and guidelines:  LEHSguidance.org and click on Scholarship & Financial Aid.  Scroll down to see our LEHS Class of ’65 scholarship details.  Note:  Preference may be made to a grandchild of a Class of ’65 classmate.

If you would make a donation this year, we could possibly award a second scholarship.  College is so very expensive and many or most of the students today at LEHS are from one parent homes living from paycheck to paycheck if they are lucky.  There are some very smart students at LEHS but they could use our help.  You can use the following Scholarship Donation by printing it out and mailing as instructed  Thank you for considering this worthy cause.

Thank you for considering this worthy cause.

Thanks to the generosity of our classmates, we were able to give two $1,000 scholarships to The LEHS Class of 2022!  We had ten very deserving students apply.  Thank you also to Fred Bollen for presenting our scholarships at the LEHS Awards Night on June 1st to these amazing young ladies.

Vatana Chen has been President of the LEHS Class of 2022 for the past 4 years.  She is #6 in her class of over 500 students and is a member of the National Honor Society.  She has been active in Girls INC. and has been instrumental in setting up confidential healthcare in Lynn Public Schools.  Vatana will attend Tufts University in the Fall as a Biology and Biotechnology major.

Kelsey McNeil is the recipient of the Greater Boston League All Girl Scholar-Athlete Award for LEHS.  She has played Varsity Sports in Basketball, Softball and Cheerleading where she has been Captain of all three sports.  Kelsey volunteers with young adults and children for the Special Olympics and plans to attend Curry College as a Nursing student.

Both of these young ladies have worked very hard and done so well.  We wish them much success and happiness.

It’s been awhile since you’ve heard from us!  Hope you got through the winter safe and sound and are enjoying some nice spring weather.  I know we all probably thought COVID would be long gone and we’d be out of the woods by now but hopefully by 2025 for our 60th reunion it will be safe to travel and enjoy a large gathering.

Our class is once again planning to award a $1,000 scholarship to a deserving student in the graduating class of 2021.  The past year has been very difficult for everyone but especially students.  Seniors hoping to head off to college in the Fall have lost so much so we are happy to be able to follow through once again with a scholarship from our class.  Please go to the following website in several days to see the posted Class of ’65 application form:  LEHSguidance.org and click on Scholarship & Financial Aid to find the application.  Note:  Preference may be made to a grandchild of a Class of ’65 classmate.

Classmates!  It’s that time of year again.  Over the past 28 years you as a class have been very generous.  We have awarded over $29,000 in scholarships.  We would welcome donations large and small to possibly award a second $1,000 scholarship or replenish our funds to be able to award one next year.  You can request a Scholarship Donation form on our website.  Thank you for considering this worthy cause.
