Lynn English Class of '65

Even in these trying times, Graduation is fast approaching for seniors across the country.  LEHS has its Awards Night planned for June 3rd.  We are aware of several grandchildren of classmates graduating with the class of 2020 and we would like to give a $1,000 scholarship to a student of a classmate who meets all our criteria.  Our LEHS Class of 1965 Scholarship is listed on the LEHS Guidance website (www.lehsguidance.org) with the application and guidelines.  The application, etc. must be completed and into Matt Wilkins, Guidance Counselor, by May 15th.
In these difficult times, I’m sure students and parents would appreciate any additional help they can get to send their children off to college.  Below please find our Scholarship Donation Form.  We would like to ask you to consider making a donation at this time (no donation is too small) so we could possibly give a second scholarship to a worthy student.   We are proud that we have given out over $27,000 in scholarships since 1981 and our “funds” are being depleted. If you have already made a donation, thank you very much!!
Hope all of you and your families stay safe and well during these crazy times.  Remember, we have our 55th Reunion scheduled for September 25, 2020 and we hope to see you there!  Go Bulldogs!!

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.
